The process of getting underway in our "land yacht" proved more difficult than we expected.  We are used to packing for travel by boat so we thought we were okay. However we found we had half the space necessary for our gear, the old eyes larger than stomach scenario.
January 19th, after much thrashing about, we left Martha's Vineyard with belongings covering much of the floor of the Birding Buggy. Why, because Flip had called the manufacturer of our R/V and received a recommendation for a swing our cargo carrier that could be installed on the back of the Bird Buggy. We ordered same and had it sent to Tim and Paula's in Sleepy Hollow, NY, our first stop.
We received an email from Tim stating that the Albatross had landed, referring to the two huge boxes that had been delivered from Stowaway Cargo Carrier.  Shortly after we arrived in Sleepy Hollow, we started to assemble the carrier with Cpt. Tim's assistance.  The chore was completed in about an hour and proved to be quite simple.  Our fathers would be amazed that we actually followed the directions. 
We enjoyed warming up with Tim's gumbo and catching up with Paula, Samantha and Ali.
Each day we compile a list of birds we see. Not all the birds listed are seen from Bird Buggy.  We couldn't observe anything from the car deck of the ferry so went topsides.  We also keep a sharp eye when walking around the areas where we stop.
We are now in Vienna, VA with newly fallen snow on the ground. A Tufted Titmouse is in the hedge watching us write. Our best birds so far were seen from the ferry between Vineyard Haven and Woods Hole and include Long-tailed Ducks, Surf and Black Scoters, Buffleheads, Common Eiders, Black-legged Kittiwakes, Bonaparte's Gulls and Common and Red-throated Loons.  The best bird in Sleepy Hollow was a handsome Sharp-shinned Hawk sunning itself in a tree overlooking the Hudson River.

We are bound for warmer weather!
