Doug From About Time Is Back

We had quite a surprise visit on Sunday which at first had us totally confused. We heard a knock on the hull and checking to see who was there found Doug from About Time. This did not compute since they had left Annapolis a week ago this past Thursday bound for Norfolk. He had Paul and Jane, fiends from Bayfield, Ontario with him in the dinghy from I Wanda. We invited them aboard for drinks so we could sort out the story. Doug and Sharon were in the Solomon Islands when they got the call that the granddaughter was two weeks early. They reviewed the options and decided to push on to Norfolk covering the 110 miles in one day. Sharon flew home and Doug found a marina to put the boat up for a couple weeks. He then rented a car to return to Annapolis. He is staying on I Wanda and now will ride home with Paul and Jane who were in Annapolis for the boat show. They will continue on in a couple weeks and we fully expect to see them somewhere along the ICW. Ella Sibley ..... is the newest member of their family. We are anxiously awaiting for our call from Scott.
