Day 2 
October 20, 2019
We disconnected from Right Hand in the morning set our anchor and hunkered down through the rain and wind. We took a lay day as it was really snotty out, pouring rain and wind.  Deb and Keith are all about using the least amount of water possible. Deb inspired me. I collected rain water in a 5 gallon Home Depot bucket and hand washed a couple of things. It was rainy and raw. I found a recipe for tomato soup in the instant pot. Yum, yum! Our boat is so cozy. Even in the rain it was a great day.

There are never any shortage of boat projects. While I puttered about in the galley Eddie worked on power inverter issues. 
Alas, all the hours with the electrician on board before leaving and the many days waiting for the lithium batteries and things aren’t communicating well with one another. It appeared that we might need a new inverter. We ordered the inverter, had it delivered to our next stop. and headed to the Deltaville Marina in Deltaville, Virginia.

We crossed the Cape Fear River which was washing machine sloppy and reminded me of how the Chesapeake can be. I held the helm for the first 2+ hours, feeling more confident every day.  We crossed by Oak Island and I thought about that tiny apartment / condo we considered buying. I’m so glad that we decided against it. I like our current set up with Blue Indigo and Seaquel much better!  Look at this beauty that passed us. She is a 1946 Trumpy, restored. Have you noticed a theme - most boats pass us. We turtle along! Right Hand sharing the channel with a shrimp boat.  Today we crossed into South Carolina. An...
