On Saturday we left Dennis Point and anchored at Deltaville for the night. On Sunday we went from Deltaville to Norfolk. We went to dinner at Lola’s with mom’s friends. On Monday, we decided to go the Bahamas instead of Bermuda. If we wanted to go to the Bahamas, we needed to get in gear quick because the next weather window was Wednesday. Dad did a bunch of repairs. 

Samedi, nous sommes partis de point Dennis et nous avons ancré le bateau à Deltaville pour la soirée. Dimanche nous sommes allés jusqu’à Norfolk. Nous avons mangé le diner à Lola’s avec les amis de maman. Lundi nous avons décidé d’aller aux Bahamas, pas aux Bermudes. Si on voulait aller au Bahamas, on devait faire beaucoup de choses très vite parce que le prochaine fois que le météo allait être en faveur était Mercredi. Papa a fait beaucoup de réparations.

On Saturday, we were supposed to go to DC with one of mom’s friends, but mom’s friend had to cancel. My parents wanted to go even without mom’s friend, but thankfully the museums were still closed because of the government shutdown. Thank you government shutdown! Instead, we went to brunch at a restaurant, then had Tiki Tour over for D&D. 

Samedi, on devait aller à  DC avec une des amies de maman, mais elle a dû annuler. Mes parents voulaient y aller quand même sans elle, Mais heureusement tous les musées étaient fermés parce que le gouverment était fermé. Merci fermeture du gouvernement! À la place, nous avons mangé un brunch à un restaurant, puis Tiki Tour est venu pour D&D.

Friday, Nov. 7 — The full moon was still up this morning and shining brightly.

Since we’ve missed our weather window to Bermuda, we needed to form a new cruising plan. We’ve decided that once the repairs were completed, we’ll go back to Little Creek to wait for another weather window to Bermuda.

Eric continued to work on repairs/maintenance while Christi and Keith did school. He noticed that the bilge pump sea strainer and hose was leaking. That part was awkward to access, so tightening the sea strainer was difficult.
