The roadway was full of people from Florida right on up to Knoxville Good Friday. Atlanta was a zoo and we lost lots of time there so the planned home run was cut off and we stayed at the Days Inn North in Knoxville. This was a first time stay and it was OK - room was a bit noisy but the view of our rig in the parking lot made up for that. The hot breakfast was mediocre with lots of little things missing but we were the first ones there and that made up for the shortcomings. All-in-all our $62 room was pretty good as it was clean with new carpets. We would stay again.
The final leg home was on uncrowded roads but we went thru Cincinnati instead of taking the I-74 to Indy. This was a mistake as the road construction and slow traffic was irksome. Still we arrived home about 1730 hours and we turned on the house and unloaded the cab of the truck and the car.
On the way home we discussed Sabre 34 and this boat might hold some promise. Still in my deck of cards is the Pearson 35 and Seaward 26RK. There may be others that interest me but the role of the boat at this time in undefined. One thing is known, I must be able to single hand the boat for extended periods on inter-coastal, near shore use. The occasional open ocean passage must be safe for a single hander and this might leave the Seaward wanting. Unlike our other boats, seasonal living aboard comfort is not an issue as we will be out for a couple of weeks to a month at most. We will be planning and researching for a while.
