Today is the last day of the Fall Rendezvous. This morning Darrell listened to a speaker about the Abacos area of the Bahamas. We are considering whether to go there this winter.
This afternoon we attended separate men’s & women’s sessions. These sessions are geared towards answering the questions of people who have not yet started the loop. It is also helpful for those people currently on the loop. There are always new things to learn.
There was a discussion about the challenges of living 24/7 in very close quarters with your spouse/partner. Sometimes discussions can get heated and non-verbal ways of letting off steam are needed. Beth shared Barbara I.’s “full bouquet” spousal communication technique.
We are planning to leave tomorrow but have found out just recently that the Wheeler lock, which is 5 miles away and the first lock we need to go through, is closed due to high wind. There are also several tows waiting to go through when the lock opens again. We are hoping that the lock re-opens tonight and will be available for us tomorrow. There is also rain forecast for tonight & tomorrow – up to 2”. We are hoping we don’t get delayed right when we’re planning to start.
Tonight is our last reception and group dinner. No speaker tonight, but an award banquet
and many drawings for prizes.
