Washington, NC
Time to start cleaning up the boat for its vacation. Dave and RoseAnn from Pyxis came by at 11am and we went shopping and then to Russ, their friend who has a house there. We spent a nice day together, and we did something productive too by removing lots of stuff from Pyxis before they put her on land. RoseAnn had baked her famous Caramel cake for us and it was delicious. Later she made a wonderful Chicken Pot Pie. I got the recipes for both things and will try them soon.
I decided to leave Caprice at McCotters, and booked a flight back to Chicago for tomorrow. Then we headed off to party at the club house. Lots of fun, Dave and RoseAnn are a blast. I'm sorry to only spend so little time with them now, but hope I'll see them again soon, and maybe convince them to go to the Bahamas with Pyxis and Caprice together.

All that remained to do was moving Caprice to her dock and clean up. I made an attempt to fix the fresh water bladder tank with 5200, but I don't really have high hopes, and in any case that tank is much too small. When I come back I'll buy a bigger one. Mark of McCotters gave me a lift to the airport (many thanks Mark!) and I made my flight with only a few minutes to spare.
Back to Chicago? Wrong time of the year to do that - you should have continued south to warm weather on Caprice. Well, I'm sure you have your reasons. I hope you can continue your journey south again soon. We are now in NC on the ICW. Best Regards, Ted

ReplyDeleteI had to go home to my Admiral, and my job. I'm not retired yet, so I can only cruise part time.
