The Solomons II

So our adventure has come to a screeching halt. The boatyard had originally said we'd be done in 2 weeks (this Friday). However, they are now claiming they won't be able to finish until July 1st!!! Needless to say we are PISSED! Especially since we met Scotty, a guy who does electronics, and he claims we have a 3 day job. I think we need to have a serious sit down.

In order not to get ultimately depressed , we've decided to rent a car and go to Washington DC. At least then we'll have something interesting to write about.

Seeing that we aren't making it back to the lake until mid July. We were just wondering if anyone wanted to join us for a leg of the journey? There are 2 "legs left". One is Annapolis to the Delaware bay to Cape May to Atlantic city to New York city. This may get a little rough, there will the open ocean to contend with. The next leg is new York City up the Hudson to the Champlain canal through all the locks to the Lake. There will be very little sailing on that leg because the mast has to come down but we do go over the mountains...very pretty.

We'd love the company, we miss you all very much.

Roxanne and Josh

I am glad that you two have turned a rotten situation into an opportunity ... I loved the short time I spent visiting Washington DC.

Enjoy, have fun and make sure L'Attitude gets repaired to your satisfaction.

Miss you and look so forward to your arrival on the lake.
