Kit and Carol on the Road

On Wednesday we decided we would leave on the 4:00 ferry and stay the night in town—in case freezing temperatures turned our island roads back to ice. I came home from Quilting at 2:30 and Kit went to get Wayne (the truck) to hook up. Alas, the truck battery was dead. After attempting to jump start with the car (to no avail) and attempting to jump start with the trailer battery (to no avail) he switched the batteries and got the truck running. THEN …more problems…. The ground was soft and wet enough, so that the truck wheels just spun and we could not get close to the trailer to hook up. FINALLY we built a virtual road of boards and were able to get connected. (Our neighbors will notice the mess in our yard). All of this took extra time and we only just made the 5:05 ferry. In town, we went straight to Les Schwab to get the battery checked and charged. Thus, it was after dark when we got to Fidalgo RV. LUCKILY when Kit went to fetch the battery Thursday morning it was fully charged and ready to go. So we left Anacortes at 9:15 and spent a long boring day (no traffic or weather problems) on I 5.
