We need to travel 2 tenths of a mile today

We need to get to that dock over there.
Hampton on the other side of us.

Wind is just starting to pick. We just need to cross the small river

So this morning  we hear a new sound on the boat, we thought  we had heard them all. This as  strange clinking, strange  enough to go out in the rain to determine the cause. It was an empty half submerged beer bottle floating by and tapping the hull...
A CORONA beer bottle.   Weird.

So the governor of Virginia has extended the stay at home order till June 10th. Looks like no space musium for us. So has anyone come up with "the answer" on this virus thing? Sure is a wake-up about: impermanence / change, just what is "the economy", boredom, food as entertainment, entertainment as entertainment, what are "essential" services, and very significantly, what are the powers/authority of governors, government and just how well people will comply. Wow, lot of topics in that sentience.

So we need to start figuring out ground transportation vs. Water type. Hard to imagine that we will be able to travel as far in 20 or 30 minutes as we have traveled in 24 hours. This may take some mental adjustment.

Well sounds like here comes the wind (and rain). I guess i have to leave screen-world and go back into "real" world.

About:
In our 60's, (now in our 70s) been married to each other since 1979, sailing boats since the late 1980s. Started on Lake Champlain with a MacGregor 22, and took it to Nova Scotia with us. The MacGregor was a little small for the Atlantic, so we got a "Snowbird", 30-foot steel hulled Junk rig. [...]
