Finally...Back on the boat

We left cold snowy Ohio on Sunday January 31st and headed for Mobile to get back to the live aboard lifestyle. It took a day of cleaning and getting things straightened up before we could move back aboard but we finally made it. The marina is much different than what we had at Cedar Mills. Floating raised docks can sure spoil you. Here we have pilings with a small finger pier to access about a third of the boat along one side.

The weather was great the day we moved aboard but it is raining now. I have quite a list of things to do to get the solar panels, electronics and other items running again. Also, the VHF isn't working now. It is a power problem that I will have to trouble shoot.

Once we get things finished we will be moving on. I was talking to some local sailors and it seems that crossing the bay to the intracoastal will be much easier than I had anticipated. There's a break! I am thinking we will be here for two or three weeks max. But then I thought we would be in the Florida Keys in earlier December. Ah. everyday is a Saturday when you are retired.
