General Discussion / Heading to Hurricane country!
« on: October 05, 2016, 06:32:29 PM »
We are going to the big boat show in Annapolis MD. Travelling tomorrow(Thur, Oct6), attending the show Friday. It is a really cool boat show. All the boats are in the water, and you walk docks and tour boats. Many are much bigger and more expensive than anything I would consider buying. But also many boats similar to what we are looking for. All kinds of marine vendors, charter vendors, etc. Whole town in party mode.
We'll have a one-way rental car, we turn in at Raleigh-Durham, where we fly home from.
We planned to drive down to Elizabeth City, NC on the Albemarle Sound; and New Bern, Oriental, and Washington on Pamlico Sound. Looking at our options for moving to that part of the country. Hoping to check out some living areas, and marinas.
But, looks like Hurricane Matthew will brush the east coast in places. The boat show is safe, and we'll be out of there long before it could move that far north. But our trip south... we'll have to watch the weather and play it by ear. We'll no doubt have at least a few very rainy days. And worst case, we'll have to stay away from the coast and find something to do, more inland. I have a lot of experience improvising vacations.
Maybe a chance to see what the area looks like during/after a hurricane. A good thing to see before deciding to move there!
