Well, we've finally stopped traipsing around the country and

have landed

in Virginia. Boat is still down in Pamlico Sound area until

we can find a

marina closer to the new digs. Weather here is balmy

today...was

66F....beats Michigan, that's for sure, even though she was

kind to us

when we went home for the holidays and didn't blizzard on us

or anything.

I'm not even going to attempt to catch up with the 5500

messages so am

going to start from scratch....anything interesting going on?

Well, if you put bubbles in the bozo bin you'd probably only

have 4500

messages. So, how did you get the boat down there, or is it a

boat other

than Chanteuse?



she put it on a yard trailer, for sure.

We used a registered, recognized boat transfer outfit. Boat went
down on her own cradle with jack stands attached to the rig for
stability. I packed the boat full of our stuff and not one thing
shifted or broke. Being deep draft, we have to watch where we're
going...lots of shallow places down here. The tides are minimal
where the boat is...mostly wind driven alluvial flow...if we bring
her to VA we'll have to cope with much larger tidal flow. We're
also on a floating dock system, which is great and the marinas we've
visited up here are all standard dock, which means a climb during
low tide....we're still weighing our options.
