Good  luck Bruce. Keep in touch as you do the loop.

Tehani should transit the Mississippi River locks tomorrow. We're ( Tehani and I) 34 miles from Harvey Lock tonight. Harvey is Mile 0 of the Gulf ICW. Increases both ways from there- east and west.
 
Maybe two weeks from the home Marina  Grin I'll be glad to get there. This cold weather iis wearing. 29 yesterday AM and 34 this AM. I've had long johns on!!!

Great photo of Charlie on Tehani.

Good to see the trailer repaired, modifications, and Puff back in the water. It will be interesting to read your entries as you cruise the Great Loop.

Fair winds,

Finally got around to moving Puff out of Marquis Basin and over to Destiny Marina on Escambia Bay.  Nancy and I got a late start Thursday evening and spent the night anchored in one of our favorite spots at Bay Point on Blackwater Bay.  The night was chilly and the thick morning fog didn't lift until noon.  There was absolutely no wind, so we had to just motor along on glass-smooth water all the way.  The fog suddenly rolled in again just as we were entering the marina.  We had just enough time to make it in safely.   Smiley
