It's November so it's time we got serious about pointing this boat south! We have been enjoying dockside living in Cambridge, Maryland for almost a week, but with temps in the 50's and hours of daylight dwindling, we are ready to move along. Leaving the Bay will always be tough for us as we have so many friends and family here and we love the cruising!
We are also considering a trip to see our Midwest family. Between weather and COVID we go back and forth as to whether or not this is even a good idea, but for now we are going to keep moving the car down the coast with us so that we have the option to drive inland should we decide to go for it. It's 2020. Nothing seems to be easy.
So, what's the plan? Gale warnings are in the forecast tonight through tomorrow night so we will be staying put! After that, we will start working our way down the Bay to Norfolk where we will hopefully snag a slip for about a week to visit some more family before we continue on. A bridge on the ICW had been damaged earlier this week, but it was repaired last night so cruisers can make their way to North Carolina via the inside route again. Outside around Cape Hatteras can be sketchy, so it's good to have the inside option.
We're only a little behind where we were last year. Some cruisers religiously leave by a certain date each year, but we're a little more flexible. In this type of life, I think you need to be. I guess we'll see if this was a bad move or not as we keep moving along.
