Sorry for the lack of posts on our blog. A lot has happened in last 2 weeks. We arrived in the states and almost immediately began to have trouble. First I updated our IPad that we use for navigation to the new iOS 8.3 and suddenly our GPS receiver no longer worked. Thanks Apple! So we decided to buy a new lap top. This was something we were planning to buy when we got home so not a big deal. The next day our old laptop died. the day after that our outboard engine for our zodiac (aka family car) blew up. So we bit the bullet and bought a new one. All that created delays in our travel plans. Then just as were stated to make some progress North along comes Tropical storm Ana. Currently we are hunkered down in Georgetown South Carolina waiting for Ana to come ashore. We are directly in its path but are far inland and on a dock in a well protected marina. So far so good. Its frustrating to be not moving but we are safe and having fun with our friends on Charlotte.
