Hurry Up and Wait

Surprise! Remember how I said in my last post that the waves wouldn't affect the freight boat? Apparently that isn't totally true, since we drove down to the Port of Palm Beach to find out that the Legend was still in the Bahamas due to high seas. What a let down, since we were so ready to go.

Back to Daytona we drove, but at least we were cruisin' I-95 in comfort. Our free upgraded rental vehicle ended up being a brand new Yukon XLT.
It is gigantic and Dave was so happy that he didn't have to cram all our huge bags, plus his water skis, into a compact car. It has every option imaginable, including a rear video camera, sun roof, satellite radio, leather seats, dvd player, etc. Now we know why the Daytona Hertz office wanted us to take it as a one way rental to Palm Beach, since it is much more suited for the clientele down there. Luckily it was still available for the two days we need it to come back up to Daytona and then back to the port again. We were told to call at 10 AM on Wednesday to see if the Legend made it back and was ready to 'set sail' again.

Dave just called the boatyard in Green Turtle Cay to tell them the situation, because New Horizon was supposed to be launched tomorrow. As soon as Mary heard who it was, she told him that she already knew and we had been rescheduled for Friday. That means that they must have noticed that the Legend was still in Green Turtle awaiting better crossing weather, so we never would have made it by Wednesday. Gee, everyone knew but us. Oh, well, once again we just have to laugh and adapt our plans.
