As Kathy mentioned, weather and road condition warnings have convinced us to sit tight in Three Island Crossing State Park. Not content to miss an opportunity for change… we’ve moved sites. Our new ‘home’ is sight #12 on the upper circle. It’s just as beautiful, surrounded by grass and trees and, as it’s a little higher, has a fantastic view out over the river valley. We expect to be here for at least two days. The rain kindly waited until we had been to town (Glenn’s Ferry) for lunch and to pick up some groceries… and it waited until we had set up the trailer (er I mean Lucy) and pulled out the awning… I’ve just sat down to update this diary and the rain has begun to fall. It’s light so far and there’s not much wind… so we’ll be sitting tight right here (with good books and movies…yup, Lucy has a TV :-) and even more time to catch up on our rest.
For those of you who are waiting to hear. We’ve had word from Marina Seca in San Carlos that there was no damage to the boats on the hard. We have yet to speak directly with Eduardo (the fellow in charge) to ascertain whether or not Spirit’s hull will be dry enough to work on by Oct. 1st. If he says there will be a delay due to the need for more drying… we’ll pay even closer attention to the temperatures and may slow down a bit. If not, we’ll see what the road and weather conditions have to offer us in terms of a safe journey south. All in good time…. one step after another.
It’s now Monday the 22nd. We’ve had a good day (resting and walking and just hanging out) and we’re going to head off tomorrow. Sorry to leave this place, but happy to be on our way. Will write again when we land somewhere with internet. We hope all of you are doing well. Take good care.. and thanks for joining us.
CJ, Kathy, and PS
