Here we are, waiting for the big blow to hit its stride. it is 4:39 pm ET, and the speeds are steady around 35 mph, with gusts to 50 mph. The big issue is the storm surge tides. Down at the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay, the storm surge is 4-8 feet...translation? That is 4-8 feet above high tide. Not good. The boat is tied up and looking like it may be unscathed through the big blow.
I am going to review the maps again tonight to see how my ride home needs to be altered. Sometime early this week I am back to beautiful, downtown Sioux Falls, SD. I haven't decided when to go, but Wednesday at the latest. Only half way home...total mileage now for the entire trip is 6200 miles so far. Amazing places, people and things to see. My good times are the result of the great friends that joined me along the way and put us up, so a big thanks to:
1. Murray
2, Nathalie
3. Thomas
4. Mark
5. Gordon
6. Joe
7. Rebecca
8. Jane
9. Ken
Ah, let's not forget Frances...she has been the best. I have so much to be grateful for.
There is more to come in this trip, more places to see and more friends to connect with. Can't wait.
I will attache photos of the hurricane zone on the next blog.
More later
