After we had unloaded the boats at the port we had some time to sit and wait for our next assignment. We watched some local TV and heard that there was a major snow storm heading to the north east. Just as we thought about putting up the satellite TV for entertainment, our assignment came in. We were to go to Knoxville, Tennessee to the SeaRay boat plant. We were a bit short on driving hours, but checked on a truck stop about 90 miles away in Clear Brook, Virginia that we made our destination for the night.
Upon waking Tuesday morning it was snowing. A very wet snow, but the snow fell on us as we left the truck stop and continued our journey southwest towards Knoxville. The snow slowly turned to a light rain, but the chatter on the CB was of the snow they expected to get in the east and which roads they should taken.
Thankfully we didn't have to worry about that as our new assignment is to deliver two boats to two different locations. One is going to Brunswick, Georgia and the other to Jacksonville, Florida. We have been wanting to get to Florida, especially this time of year when the humidity will not wilt you, for some time. We will also get to visit two more States on our "to see" list, North and South Carolina. We are both looking forward to seeing some new areas and scenery along our trip. Who knows, I may just deside to turn into a Southern Belle.......but then again, no...I don't think so!
