Packing up gear, and starting to load up the (rented) family truckster. We have tons of food, toilet paper, hand sanitizer, and some clothes/essentials for the trek to the boat (I don’t recall packing any adult beverages… hope we left some in the fridge on the boat). May the borders be open and the cops be lenient. Gonna be at least 16 hours in a car with the family tomorrow. This is shaping up as an adventure. Hopefully not a mis-adventure. Time will tell..
Checking on the Boat
Boat is in good health. A little warm today, so I just flipped on the A/C from my phone. It’s cooling down nicely from a high of 85 degrees over the past hour. I installed a remote monitoring system, so can turn lights on/off, as well as heat/A/C. Right now I’m wishing I had the ice maker on remote control…. drinks will be required upon arrival tomorrow night.
Border Crossings
NH->VT Border
VT-MA Border
MA->CT Border
CT->NY Border
NY->NJ Border
NJ->DE Border
DE->MD Border
MD->VA Border
VA-NC Border
NC->SC Border (South of the Border is as welcoming as ever)
We had wondered what we would run into at state border crossings…. just about nothing. But, Vermont had snow plows “guarding” the borders. Come with COVID and we’ll plow your ass back into your virus infected state you bastards! Every other state had a “Welcome” sign.
1028 Miles in 15 hours. 68 MPH average speed (including stops). This is the way the interstate highway system was meant to work!
Let the boating begin!
Ahhh, at the boat.
Dinghy Ride around the marina. Vulture Team, Go!
Dropping off the rental car… zombie apocalypse?
Charleston International Airport. Where’s the crowd? Hertz agent told me I was THE ONLY customer for the entire day. Jeez, creepy!
