Back at It

Sun, 10/6/06
Maumee, OH to Atlantic City, NJ
5 hrs, 575 mi,

I left Maumee this morning at 4:00 AM and flew back to Atlantic City to resume the southern migration. The bills are paid, esential business taken care of, meetings attended, and time spent in with friends and family.

It’s strange; but I can’t decide whether I left home, or came home. I’ve gotten quite used to being on the boat.

One interesting result of the travels so far, has been that while I was in the condo I was again aware of the fantastic view I have from my porch.


I left Toledo around 4:00 AM and arrived in Atlantic City about 9:00 AM as the weather was beginning to change. The clouds, rain, and wind built all day and by 9:00 PM when Terry arrived it was a full blown Northeaster. The winds were 20 – 30 MPH with gusts over 60. Canvas was ripping off boats and even in the harbor there were whitecaps and the boat was rocking and rolling at the dock. Nobody is moving, and there are little or no signs of life on the docks. I’m one of the few staying onboard in a large marina.

I seriously doubt that we’re going anywhere tomorrow. It might get better in the afternoon, but I’m not counting on it.
