Go with the Flow


As we sailed toward Belhaven another sailor friend suggested we meet him at Dowry Creek Marina, about 30 minutes north of Belhaven.  So we did and had drinks in the boaters lounge over looking the pool with people in the marina and later dinner onboard Priority, a sister boat in the slip next to ours.
  As usual Mazu was barking and frantic to get off the boat after the 7 hour panting, shaking day on the water.  She made friends with everyone with her Wheaten greetin' a jump and twirl in the air.

Thursday May 21
In the morning after the forecast study Drew decided it would be too risky to venture out with major Thunderstorm predictions.  Thunder means lightening, and it's not a good idea to be in the middle of Albemarle Sound in a storm.  It churns like a huge shallow bathtub. In this Marina,open to the east, we are having a pretty rolling day.  I am hugely disappointed not to get home by Memorial Day because my son and his family are visiting Exeter!  Learn to let go and go with the flow.  Many other boats left today.  I wanted to be among them but safer is waiting.
And my computer is broken with a fluttering curser that won't move where I put it.  Argh! Sometimes you're the windshield sometimes you're the bug.  Today took Mazu for a walk and did the laundry and listened to the wind.  I also learned how to do the blog on my iPad but haven't mastered inserting pictures.
The good news is that it's a warm comfortable day in the middle of nowhere.
