Today is Wednesday, February 15th and I have been lax about adding to the blog but it's been pretty quiet here at the marina. We've been keeping busy with the usual activities and are leaving shortly for the gym. We discovered a new, closer gym right across the York River at the Coast Guard Station. The man who replaced the isenglass on our flybridge (the canvas top and plastic enclosure) told us about it the other day and since we have been going to Fort Eustis, this will save us about 20-30 minutes as well as miles.
The one outstanding event that occurred last Saturday was snow showers. I was upstairs in the boaters' lounge with friends and we heard a sudden wind outside. Looking out the window was an incredible sight! The storm hit so quickly and with such force that it was unbelievable! The place was quickly covered in snow and the temperature dropped immediately. The next several days were freezing but it's slowly warmed up. It's still too cold here for my taste but at least it's not freezing. We're beginning to get itchy feet and are anxiously waiting for spring so we can get on with our journey.
I hope everyone had a wonderful Valentine's Day!
Beginning in the Spring of 2011, this is a story of a journey in our 36' Heritage East Trawler as we cruise The Great Loop, a circumnavigation of Eastern North America, along the shoreline of the United States and Canada - truly a trip of a lifetime.
