Wednesday was predicting gale force winds all day, so we decided to not leave like our friends on Jacob's Ladder and At Last … we moved over to Jackson Creek, about 5 miles away, to a more protected anchorage, there we anchored beside Snowbird, the depth was 9 feet, and we dug into the mud, about a foot … Joe just loves these swallow anchorages, less chain for him to haul
well we made the right decision, the wind howled all that day and night … surprisingly there was not much rain with it …. to my disappointment because I was counting on the rain to get enough fresh water to do laundry
we are right next to this 32 ft. motor sailor … more info on the boat later
another look at the sky the next day, and the gale force winds are continuing
Joe is planning our trip in the ICW, marking all the bridges, and times of openings, where to anchor and where there is free docks … can't wait to get in there
on Thursday we headed into the closest marina with our diesel jugs, this was a long boat house, for the more privilege boaters …
the name on this boat is RETIRED SAILOR III
we got our diesel back to the boat and then headed out with Janine and Dave to see the town, we went to West Marine, Hardware Store, Maine Consignment Store, Dollar store, and finally grocery store … where the manager for a $5.00 fee drove all our groceries and parcels back to the marina
Deltaville is very spread out about 4 miles long
to our disappointment the Harbour Master the next day would not allow us to use the bikes, he said the girls in the office should of made us pay $11.00/day fee … this fee also includes showers, wifi, laundry facilities, use of the van for one hour
… we did not want the other facilities …and he would not budge
doesn't he realize we spend money when we go to town !!!!
