Friday, October 9, 2009

We were up at 4:30 am and left quietly as soon as everything was gathered together. Around 7:30 am we received a text message from Jess saying that Baby Jake had slept through the night all the way until 7 am! She was elated! Thank You, Modern Medicine!

The drive was relaxing and uneventful - the only stops we made on the way back were for gas and snacks, and we arrived in Paducah at 3:30 pm where we picked up some groceries and stopped at the liquor store. When we got to the marina at 5:30 pm we began loading up the dinghy with our traveling gear and our purchases. Just as we had about half of our items in the dinghy, the wind came up and the rain came down – hard!! We were told that it had been raining pretty much the whole time we were gone. We waited out the worst of the storm, finished loading things up and motored out to the boat. Gale made one more trip back to the main dock for another load while Maureen started putting things away. At 7 pm, everything was on board and most of it had been tucked into its place, so we sat down for a couple of glasses of wine and went to bed!
