We didn’t leave until almost noon because we needed to arrive at White Hall Marina, our home port, at low tide. Because we have a covered slip and a flybridge, we have to time our entry accordingly so we don’t have to remove the flybridge to get in. Only the radar had to be taken down. We were happy to return to White Hall - it’s a well run marina with competent and caring staff, great docks, a lovely wooded setting and a sparkling pool!
After a short two hour run across the Potomac from Maryland to Virginia, we arrived and settled in for a couple of days of boat repairs and cleaning. Our plan is to get started on the installation of the new generator exciter and arrange for the air conditioner to be repaired while we drive down to Miami for a week to ten days. We need to pack up Janice’s apartment and put her things in storage. Her senior living facility is still in lockdown mode and she is staying at Andy’s for now until we return from our cruising this year, at which time she’ll stay with us. Hopefully, once this pandemic settles down, she will be able to move back to Willow Wood, which had really felt like home to her until this.
In the late afternoon, we went for a refreshing swim and started working our way through the food in the refrigerator. Next day was more of the same - repairing, cleaning, swimming and talking to family.
That evening we took a long walk on the beautiful property surrounding the marina.
Can you see the rather interesting shape of the right side of the tree on the next photo?
We ended up at a beautiful point of land on the river where there appears to be an abandoned fish processing plant
or maybe an oyster fishery!
We were graced by a dramatic sunset
and an even more stunning sunrise the following morning.
Our blog entries will resume when we return from Miami and continue our cruise. Until then...
