9&10 September, Sunday/ Monday
27 September 2018 | Hamburg Cove to Essex CT
Sunday brought more cloudy skies and an ever more threatening forecast about Hurricane Florence. Our scheduled babysitting duty the following week was cancelled because Travis and Katie had to change their plans and stay home to provide support for Katie's mom who was hospitalized unexpectantly. With the hurricane forecast, we made plans to rent a car and head home to Oriental Monday, and leave the boat moored in Essex.
We spent Sunday on chores, fixing a couple pesky leaks in fittings on the cabin top and packing. We left Hamburg Cove early Monday in rain. The rain at least allowed us to validate our leaks were fixed. The folks at Dauntless picked us up from our mooring, where we were met by Enterprise rent a Car, and shortly after, we were headed south to prep our home for Florence. After not driving for over three months, it took just a couple minutes to remember how nice it is on the water vs. in traffic.
