The crew would see me off to the airport that Monday afternoon. It would be a long day of travel for me as my flight did not arrive NWA until midnight. I was hoping to grab a bite to eat however the restaurant did not open quite in enough time to have food ready so I enjoyed a few beers instead.
I felt bad because I was leaving Bubba alone to ride out a big blow. We have tested our anchor out in 23 knots of wind but never anything as strong as 30+. We were blessed to have our friends here that could help out as well as provide adult supervision for Bubba in my absence.
To be on the safe side Bubba and John opted for a mooring ball in one of the hurricane holes just north of Chat n Chill. This would provide the necessary protection from the wind and waves that were expected. B4Checkout would be moving to a nearby marina and MokaKat would be moving as well for protection. With blow plans in place it was time to enjoy the day.
Unfortunately not everyone was having a great day though! The day after I left for Arkanas a nice sized yacht caught on fire. Luckily no one was on board and they were able to get it away from the docks.
As it would go I return from Arkansas with a bug! It took Bubba no time to catch it himself. For the next week we would be shut in and stuck on the boat. All I can say is there are worst places to be sick.
We finally had a little energy and loaded us and the pups up in the dinghy to attend a rooftop jam session.
