2019 Adventure, Day 3, Durham

Day 3, June 30, Durham

Nothing to be done.
I am beginning to come around to that opinion in my life, I told Gary.
They said....
If we wait, the good weather will come.
Perhaps today.
Perhaps tomorrow.
Perhaps the next day.
Ah yes.... nothing to be done.
But perhaps I should not be channeling from “Waiting for Godot”
Perhaps our chance is yet to come on Monday.
And yes, we spent the day in Durham.

Waiting....

Waiting....

Waiting for the weather to turn


In the meantime, we got our new anchor/chain/rope set up with new shackles that'll roll over the bow roller better, plus improvements to the solar oven. A quick trip to the supermarket for some fresh produce and a bicycle ride for me, Kristen, to the house to take a shower and prepare a proper cup of coffee! While at the house, I noticed woodchips trailing off from a yard and into the street, away from where a section of tree had been. Strong winds last night were, perhaps, a bit stronger than we had thought!

Then Mark joined us again for a dinner of Gary's famous fish chowder at low tide.

(We are not exactly sure if Gary's famous fish chowder at high tide is ever available),

But if only the tide would rise so we could make haste to an anchorage in the bay, closer to the ocean, to be at the ready for the dawn and our planned escape to sea and SOUTH!

Days 36-38, August 4-6. Homeward bound

Exiting the New River near low is rather exciting. The whole estuary funnels through a narrow channel and can reach high speeds with rapids...
