From FL to MD

Left sunny warm SWFL on a Monday morning, heading - north.
J/105 SV Linda in tow, away we go.
We thought we might make it to Annapolis, MD by end of day Tuesday...
but, the trip to MD was not without hitches ;)
Driving up I-95 in NC, the truck died and we coasted to the side.
Heralding balls of steel and plastic (see item in center of pic on top right... click to enlarge the pic to get a better look... I had heard of these, but this was my first real live experience), truck and boat were towed together to Fayetteville, NC, where we spent the next day and a half... Finally the parts arrive and the great guys at the dealership got 'er done.
Back on our way we thought we would be meeting up with some of our crew in Annapolis that evening... About two hours out of Annapolis we pull into a truck stop to fuel up, and one of the trailer tires completely fell off! Bearing busted.
In the pic on the right, Rob is cooling the tire down with some water turning to instant steam! now that's "hot water" ;)
Overnight in Virginia, a visit to the trailer repair shop the next morning cannot get us fixed in time to get to Annapolis in time for sailboat racing...

So, we head out, back on the road, watching that one tire on the starboard side of the trailer.
We arrive in Annapolis on Thursday at noon, just in time to step the mast, get 'er in the water, and rig 'er up for some racing the next three days...
The guys at Bert Jabin's Yacht Yard were awesome.

Unlike SWFL, in Annapolis, blow boats were a plenty and motorboats were few.
