We left here on Monday morning, with me following Kirby in the car so I could go on to work after we checked our rig in at Camping World for repairs. I don't know why the whole thing stressed me like it did, but I was really, really stressed by the time I got to the office! I kept telling myself that I have comfortably traveled the oceans in a 35 foot sailboat and never felt like this. Is it that it is all so new? Probably.
We had packed bags for two nights max. Packed clothes, pillows, dog bed, wine, slippers, vitamins....all the little things we need to be comfortable. Then, the service rep at Camping World told us it may be a week. I freaked over that one and went back to work panicked over what we would do. And - made plans not to work Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday with Friday being my last day.
What really happened is that they did some work and said we could come get her on Tuesday morning, which we did! Hooray! Not so bad after all! But we will need to return next week when they get the parts in for the rest of the repairs.
At this point I could write a book about the day we had, all the newer looking rigs getting repaired, my frustrations with the whole process. All of this is so new to us!!
We were there to get Myrt by 9:15, trying to be nice and remain calm! Then we headed back to Oak Plantation Campground with 'our girl'.
Oh, what fun it is to be new to all of this. Sailing just came natural but I am sure there was a learning curve in there somewhere, I just don't remember it. It took us two tries to get the rig where it needed to be, get it leveled and all hooked up again with water, power and sewer. By the time we finished the rain was beginning....we got it done just in time. Hopefully the next trip won't be so nerve wracking on me!
