So you have seen the picture of my overloaded pickup with uhaul trailer hooked up. Trip was difficult. I had to hire help to get it unloaded. Temperatures when I left Idaho were in the mid. to upper 70's. Was in 90's in Corpus Christi. What the pain didn't take out of me the heat seemed to. Uhaul manager was concerned about me getting heat stroke. Are you kidding? I am going to my boat. Neither sleet nor snow(wait a minute, I think that saying belongs to the postman) Well, you get the picture. Just let something try to stop me.

 So the unload was finished and I spent a night in motel before leaving for Baltimore. It was memorial day weekend and I wanted to get out of town. All I can say about the trip to Baltimore is at least I will never have to relive that one. It is about 1600 miles and The last 400-600 miles took quite a few days. I was hurt and exhausted. I could barely fight to get out of motels in mornings. I thought I was doing well to make 150-200 miles a day. But eventually I did make it.

  I will never forget arriving at tidewater yachts. I was so beat down I didn't know which way was up. I really considered that I was just not physically able to go through with it. I talked to broker and a few friends and decided that I would sleep on it. It took 2 sleeping pills to get through the night. In the morning I knew I was home. I just had to get in gear and make it happen.
