Crazy’s Adventures

Sometimes you just have to laugh

YB and GF wanted to have a day out in the boat alone. So I decided to see another Hampton. Drove about 30 minutes to South Hampton. Cute little town with different shops than Sag Harbor has. Parked the car, and as I was getting out, a street traffic officer was writing my license plate down. I said, “oh, can I not park here? ~ “Yes you can park here” as he continues to write. “Am I parked incorrectly?”~ “No you are parked correctly”

And we made it!

Rough, rough seas slowed us down a lot. There were a couple of times i went over an evacuation plan in my head. I just feel like “delivery” captains just don’t care about the boat. I may be wrong, but that has been my experience with this captain. YB saw diverse weather and told capt to stay another day where we were. We did not listen. But I thoroughly trust this captain, so I wasn’t too scared.

Delivery Captain On Board

YB and GF left the boat yesterday to fly the rest of the trip. Delivery Capt came aboard. Long time friend of YB and a frequent in Sag Harbor. Very nice man.

But boy the difference in traveling with YB and delivery captain are crazy. His goal is just to get the boat there. He’d drive all day and all night stopping only to fuel up. When he brought me from Sag Harbor to River Dunes in Oriental I didn’t go to bed, I just dozed on the couch, to be available should he need anything.

Charleston

The history here is so deep, the buildings so charming. On my walk I saw a cemetery where most were buried in the early 1800’s

Saw a prayer wall where each color of ribbon represents a different type prayer

Excited, as we are on our way to Bald Island. He was unable to get a reservation the last journey up, so this will be something new for me! 5 hours at sea today, traveling 20knots with 3ft swells

I feel so blessed

Had an amazing balance of work and play. GF invited me to dinner with she and YB.

Even before my chores were done, he invited me to cocktails with them while they played a card game

No matter how hard work and hard labor and expectations can get, it’s a family feel on this boat. And the GF has made a huge difference.

Why do I get so scared?

I really need to get comfortable docking. But every time boss offers, I find an excuse not to. Today just before we got here, a boat ran aground because they didn’t plan high tide right. YB says get up here and take over, you are going to maneuver around this shit and go into the inlet, once inside, you’ll have yachts all around you. You’ll need to turn completely around, so that you can dock in your side of the boat.

Finally outta Florida

I have friends that are already in New York. This particular friend delivers the boat from miami to New York, where the owners live. So the trip there is not Lolly gaggin and site seein. So for us to take this much time…is crazy to him. Every time he asks where we are he had to laugh.

A day off

Well. Kinda. This is the way it has always been. YB will say take the day off tomorrow, what that means is set your alarm to have the boat dried at sunrise. Make beds, clean bathrooms, vacuum/mop floors, and do laundry, then enjoy your day off.

Fun random night

Met some girls at the same marina bar as last night. Lindsay, a kindergarten school teacher and I hit it off. She introduced me to her friends and the night took us to a dive bar in New Smyrna.

Very strange

We had a 6.5 hour drive today. I drove most of the way. Seas were too rough so we stayed inside. YB and his GF got to play cards and enjoy each other, plus I feel useless when we are underway. Salt water flying, I can’t work outside. I’ve already done the inside. so driving, I Atleast feel productive
