Our adventure begins...

So here we are, a 30 year dream come true for Kevin. A "Life gives you lemons, make lemonade." for me. Most people would think getting laid off was bad, but for me it was a turning point. A dream we've talked about for 20 years finally had the door of opportunity. We went through a hurricane, record high waters that silted in our marina entrance, a major back crisis, a major house chimney repair and whatever else life could throw at us. But here I sit in Deltaville VA writing our first entry to an adventure of a life time. Here we are, the furthest south we've ever been. Here we are, tomorrow we head into Hampton Roads, the entry way to the ICW. The biggest port of call we've ever been to with major military bases, airports galore and a shipping channel that can handle 25,000 ton aircraft carriers. Ever been close to an aircraft carrier. But, just a few short miles past that we'll hit the Great Dismal Swap, a canal that George Washington started.
Kevin has given me permission to tell him repeatedly, "The only difference between and adventure and an ordeal is your attitude." ~Bob Bitchen.
