Things are looking up! We moved back into the sun light, out from under the roof! Rain or shine we are happier!

The last four days have been a hoot! The AGLCA rendezvous was sold out to a group of people with the same idea of adventure, while having a good time. There were guest speakers addressing ports of call, crossing the Gulf, boating safety and generally every aspect of what we might encounter on our trip from here around Florida and up the coast to Norfolk, Virginia where the spring Rendezvous is being held May 14-17, 2011.

There has been Looper Crawls everyday where you have the opportunity to visit other boats at the rendezvous and see how they live aboard and learn the good and not so good points about their boat.


Concert

Breakfast lunch and dinner have been served the past three days. Happy hour receptions were sponsored by different marinas every night.


At concert

There was a concert in Rogersville, Alabama that was very entertaining but a little damp with storms and tornado warnings most of the day.

In fact the concert was almost canceled due to severe weather warnings. They did have a tent set up to cover everyone but the night air was cool and damp! This area experienced 3 ½” rain with heavy winds through out the night.


Barb and I never win anything but at this event we won four very nice prizes one being a stay at a bed and breakfast where the concert was held!

Today the 27th, the swimming pool was closed and the park is getting ready for the winter season. Another good sign for us to move south!
