May 9 and 10 - Josh and I played around town and got the boat ready to leave for our driving trip home on the 11th for our youngest son's college graduation and dorm move out. While we're gone we'll have lots of people watching our boat, especially a nice gentleman that we met at The Wharf a week ago named Dale. He keeps his boat at this marina and he said he'd check on ours every morning and before heading home in the evening. What a really nice guy!
May 11 thru 17 - On the morning of the 11th, Josh called the Enterprise when they opened at 7:30 and they said they would send their driver over to pick him up when the driver starts work at 8:00 am. When 8:30 am arrived and he was still not picked up, Josh called them again and they said the driver did not show up for work but they would send someone else to get him. At 9:15 Josh was picked up at the marina and we finally got on the road around 10:00 am. Around noon we picked up my mother in Biloxi and continued on to Seabrook. A long day on the road! 500+ miles!
On Thursday the 12th we picked up our mail and collected items that we needed to take back to the boat with us. We were also on "standby" for Daniel because we did not know if we needed to help move him or not or what was really going on. Let me explain! The college wanted him out of his apartment before he graduated. He was waiting for a job offer and that would determine whether or not he would move home or if he could move into his own new place. Within a week's time he got the job and started the following Monday, moved into his own place and graduated. Moving into his own place was a learning experience! He got the power hooked up within a day but forgot about the gas! Of course the water heater was gas and the gas company said it would take up to seven days before it would be turned on. Cold showers for him, LOL!!!
After all of this, we drove back to the boat, re-provisioned using the rent car then returned it the following day. Josh started installing his new toys (anemometer and new RG6 TV cable) and we hung around waiting for our friends Barry and Paula on M/V Andante to arrive.
