The Snow Goose is sitting in Manesquan, New Jersey - south of Asbury Park. We came in to weather the storm yesterday with some rain and winds 40 - 50 mph and to get a mechanic to look at the diesel. The mechanic is onboard right now. With luck, we will sail out of here tomorrow AM for Atlantic City. It will be good to get NJ behind us. Lots of weather here. To get into this inlet we had to go through a 48' wide railroad bridge with a lift that significantly cuts into that width when it is up. Then there was the current much the same as the Piscataqua River. I closed my eyes and held by breath as Bill took us through. The white knuckle moments continue, but we both have gotten significantly better at dealing with the moments and more confident in our skills. Nothing but fun! Love to all and thanks for following us. Gotta go help Bill clean out the boat and all the soot that has been created by our engine problem. Love, Barb

I haven't read your posts for a while, so was delighted to see you'd written so much since I last checked!
ReplyDeleteKudos to you both for hangin' in there and finding out what your limitations are (they seem to be expanding with each day of your trip). Seems like you've been gone so long I almost expect to get a phone call saying you're over here on the West Coast.
Hugs to you both.

Okay, it's been almost a week since our last update. Where are you and how are things?
ReplyDeleteGet updating!
Yes, we are checking too. I think I might make a call but it is too late tonight to do that. Perhaps in the morning.
ReplyDeleteWe are back from our trip and hope to make one to the coast as soon as you get here!
It has been raining here a lot these past couple of days so I expect that you are getting this weather on the coast too. Clearing this weekend, we hope!
