The Forester is squatting on its springs. Inside are the outboard motor; a large suitcase containing my essential clothing for six weeks, minus a few items; a large Rubbermaid tub in which are collected basic, non-perishable groceries for two weeks; a 35-bottle case of spring water; two 12-bottle cases of green tea; three first aid boxes; four new flares; a book of tide and current tables, and a guitar. I'm just waiting for Monica, who is now home from work, to assemble her clothing for her two-week stay aboard Robin and then the packing will be complete.
The plan is that I drive to Cambridge, MD, in the morning and store all this gear aboard Robin before returning home. Saturday morning, we and the Morrisons will drive back to Cambridge, and early Sunday -- just after first light -- John and I will be on our way.
That's the plan.
I also plan on knocking on some nearby wood. About a cord's worth.
About Me
- doug campbell
- I have been fortunate in my life to have earned an income through writing -- specifically through journalism. That has permitted my world to expand beyond my three wonderful children and eight grandchildren and to meet a whole circus full of interesting human beings. Now, no longer employed as a journalist, I am taking the opportunity to write the stories of some of the folks I've met. With my wife, Monica, I have sailed to fascinating destinations with the expectation of visiting many more in the years ahead.
