Weather rules! While
the rest of the country is doused with snow and hard freezes, we are sitting in
Dog River Marina in Mobile with cold-ish (50 lows-60's highs) and strong winds. For the boater that means you stay put but comfortably. Terry is happy with boat projects and Dog
River is the place to get batteries and all the bla-bla that goes along with
that project so were figure there are worse places to spend a holiday week. Our sister Vivian came over from Hattiesburg,
MS for the day and we haven’t seen her since she and Sue came to visit at
Mackinac Island—good to catch up.
Looking ahead we want to be in Dunedin on December 15th and
that is our only hard goal. We would
like to stop in Fairhope, Pensacola (definitely- the Navy Air
Museum), Fort Walton Beach and or (San) Destin, Panama City, and on to
Apalachicola to await good weather for the Gulf crossing to Dunedin. Turner
Marine does a potluck Thanksgiving dinner on Wed. before Thanksgiving that is
sort of a Looper event so we will go to that.
We heard from nephew Kelsey that he and his sweet Jamie are engaged and
that his future in-laws live in Fairhope -- we are going to try to get with
them before we hit the ICW. Nearly Perfect (Pat and Jack from Houston) is here for the week too so we will have good company for docktails and dinner out.

Fitz, you look like and engine room surgeon with that lighted head gear.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like your plans mirror our travels, which will keep you guys behind us by several days. We are in Sandestin at Baytone until Friday and then we will take two or three days to get to Carrabelle.
