Home again, home again, jiggety jig
The Captain went off to drive a big Brig, home again home again Jiggety Jig.
My tour on the Lady Washington has ended and I am back home in San Diego on my own little boat. I left Washington state early Saturday morning on my motorcycle and rode south down the coast. I stopped in Arcada for breakfast then rolled on. It was foggy on the 101 so I slid over to the 5 for a while, then back over to the 101 in the afternoon. I made it thru Washington and Oregon by early evening and was in Crecent City for dinnertime. I had a big ribeye steak and a baked potatoe then went off to find a hotel room. Many hotels were sold out and those that had room wanted too much, so I just kept going south. I made it to ‘drive thru tree road’ in the Redwoods at 2am, I stopped and laid my bike cover down as a ground cloth and slept in my clothes till about 04:30. Then I woke up and kept going. My parents mentioned they were going to be in Ventura, CA on Sunday and although I did stop for a nice breakfast, I made it to Ventura by 3pm. I met up with my parents and we went out to a late lunch. I had a double cheeseburger and a large milkshake, then we walked around until 4:pm when they checked into their hotel. They continued walking but I went and slept in their room for an hour, then I showered and said my goodbyes. Home was calling. I made it to San Diego by 9:pm and was home in bed by 10.
I’ll miss adult summer camp and the great crew of the ‘Lady’, but it is good to be home.
Glad to know you are well and enjoying life. Hope everything goes the way you want them to.
God Bless You
