Sorry there have been no new posts for some time, but we had to make a trip back to Iowa last Wed. and arrived back at the boat in Columbus, MS at 6:30 this evening. (Oct. 17th) We will return our rental car at when they open at 8:00 tomorrow morning and head out. We are at mile marker 335 so that is the number of miles to Mobile(mile marker 0). One little snag... a bridge at mm 12 (I think) will be under construction starting Oct. 27 and will be closed until Nov. 2. We will be racing to get past mm 12 before the 27th. It will be close. It gets dark so early that we don't have as many motoring hours as we used to. It is forcast to have winds of 21 - 24 the next couple of days so if they are in the right direction we may try putting up a sail as we motor.
Another worry... alligators eating Wicket. Okay, so this worry may be unfounded but we will be see alligators within a few days sunny on the shores & sandbars and that is the only place the dog will go bathroom. For all our trying, we have not been able to get her to go on the boat. You name it, we tried it. So things could get scary for me.
2 weeks after selling our sailboat, we were online looking for another boat. Bought "Tadpole" in April 2013. Tadpole is a trawler made by Nimble. Our model is a 20' Vagabond. Currently, in Iowa visiting family and friends for a few summer months before heading for Arizona.
