Total: 2903.5 miles 399.9 hours
Saturday, 5/25/19 ~ Winds were out of the SSW at 15-18 as we left around 6:30. The currents
were still a problem, so we only averaged 6 mph for hours before it finally
turned. When we loose 1 mph an hour
while doing more than 7 hours of travel, that adds another hour onto our day.
The currents began to help during the last 2 hours. We kept Betty and John appraised of our
arrival times as we were joining SV ADIAMO at Spring Cove Marina in Solomons.
As we were about 200 feet from the fuel dock, the engine quit. We were able to glide, turn and dock safely
with John and Betty’s help. Pete saw
that the temperature for the engine was 170 instead of 175. When he checked, Pete found a kink in the
engine fuel supply hose. He was able to
use a hose clamp to straighten the kink and the engine restarted. There was no problem staying on the fuel dock
overnight, We will move in the morning.
We were welcomed aboard ANDIAMO.
It has been too long since we have spent time with Betty and John. John prepared a delicious sausage and
broccoli robe dish. We talked until 9ish, but the day finally caught up with
us. We said our good nights and will see
them in the morning.
Sunday, 5/26/19 ~ We moved from the fuel dock to the slip directly behind ANDIAMO. When the electrical lines were plugged in one
of the 30-amp supplies didn’t work. Once
another source was found, we were set.
Betty offered to drive me to the stores.
A quick stop at ACE Hardware and Harris Teeter, and we
were set. Now I can make a Garlic Shrimp
and Veggie dish for dinner.
One dinner was finished, we played a round of Rummy Cube and of the
conversations continued. It was time to say good night as we will be leaving
for the final leg of our journey home in the morning.
