| Us leaving, going by cruise ship |
Our plans were to stay only one night, but that quickly changed. Had a big rain during the night, and with that added onto the earlier rains, the next morning there was lots and lots of water on the docks, roads, yards, etc.................we couldn't even walk to the restaurant. To give you an idea, there is just a wall to side tie up to, 1/4 mi long. There were lots of boats here, almost a "full house"! We only had a 40 mile trip the next day, so we did not plan to leave early. There were lots of vessels that did leave early though. After we got up and Sonny was moping the rain off the decks, he noticed a parade of boats (the ones that had left early) returning to the marina. Didn't take us long to figure out. Something was up!!! There are 2 swing bridges several miles upstream, only 3-4 feet off the water. Because of these rains, the water had gotten into the mechanisms of the bridge, so they were closed! Until further notice! Therefore, the boats turned around. So upon return, it was kinda like working a puzzle to get the boats back in; plus.................there are more boats arriving all through the day because they have reservations. The puzzle gets more complicated. Now we are rafting up. We ended up with a sailboat tied to us.....
We had a blast all day watching this fiasco!!!
