Got bad news today

Got the same disease. Yesterday marked 'Half Way Day'. Half way from when we last saw our truck & trailer November 14th & when we will see them again early July.

We do have a couple of consolations. July we set off on a 8000 mile 124 day trip. From the end of May till the end of June we will pig out on things nautical right in our back yard.

The 35th Americas Cup begins May 26th through June 27th. Pretty sure I have myself a volunteer job running one of the spectator marshal boats which means a better than frontline position to watch. Early June we have The Tall Ships here for a couple weeks. Next arriving will be Marion Bermuda Race Got a shift or two finish line duty for that. Radio comms.

But wait! There's more! Also in June & part of AC35 we will have 8 of These along with These

Then there will be the visiting motor yachts numbering somewhere around 150 so far. Many of these will be of the 100' plus size.

I am not a sailor however June will be a sight of a lifetime on the water here. Somehow I don't believe I will be thinking RV much in May or June. Many of these boats make a Prevost look positively peasantry.

Yea , that helped... :(

Was all planned to head over to our local state park this Sunday for a week to open up and de-winterize our 5th wheel as the temps were to be high enough even at night. Now they are calling for lows in the 20's at night and even snow on Friday & Sunday but it's only Tuesday now so the forecast will probably change 10 times by then, wish me luck

Which park?

Lums Pond State Park now all sites are full hook ups

Thanks,,, been looking at that, it's hard to switch from Delaware State Seashore Campground, North Side... We all really like the location.. and full hook ups also.

Went and checked Seashore out but to me more like a parking lot, not a fisherman and not a big beach person either so that is my reason. Lums is 15 minutes from our house and our new unit is to big to bring home to get ready so we use Lums, plus keep getting discount codes so that really help, check it out sometime.

Good for you. Bet you're really looking forward to it.
I'm 78 and been retired for 10 years and just love it. Hope you do too.

I have been retired about a year and a 1\2 and love it. I am not sure how to feel about having our camper here at home. I can always go sit in it pack a lunch thing, but there is also the out of sight out of mind if it were at a storage lot. WE have about a month before our first trip.
