Happy Thanksgiving to all!

It’s 10:15 am and we are sitting in our boat watching the Macys Thanksgiving Day Parade! It’s in the high 70s with a little breeze gently blowing through the boat. It’s a lot different than being home with the fireplace going!

We got a call from Bruce and Chris early this am. Their safely in Tarpon Springs after an adventuresome trip! Jim and Brenda on Dream Catcher, who were traveling with them, picked up a crab pot and had to be towed into Tarpon Springs. Every one is safe and glad to be in port.

Barb and I will make our crossing taking the longer and slower route some time in January. For now were waiting for a weather front to blow through for we can get started again. At present it appears that Saturday afternoon will be our first chance to get out of Mobile Bay and enter the ICWW.



Loopers

 Today we had a great experience having Thanksgiving dinner with new friends as well as some old friends we had met while cruising the Great Loop. I’m not sure of the final count at dinner but I do know that there were 19 AGLCA loopers at the dinner including our host and hostess Vicki and Bob Riggs. They opened their home to all of us while providing a wonderful meal for all to enjoy. Thanks again – Vicki and Bob!
