Photo of where we are.

Here is a photo of Turner Marine. I didn't take it and our boat isn't in the photo but you can get an idea of what it looks like. The Dog river is out the entrance in the upper left. You take a left and go under the bridge into Mobile Bay. It is about 25 miles to the Gulf of Mexico.



We have met quite a few couples and single men that are living aboard there boats. Some are just staying here and others are doing the same thing we are, preparing to leave for south Florida. There have been two boats leave since we arrived. One was a couple, Tom and Lynn, in there early to mid 30's that are fixing up there older boat as they go. They both have doctorate degrees and got tired of the academia world and decided to go sailing. They left last Thursday for Marathon Florida. They had come down the river system from Chicago and arrived here in November. We are going to try and meet up with them there. We are a couple of weeks behind them.

Right at the moment we are pretty much done with getting all the mechanical things ready to go. We still have to provision and we are waiting for a friend from Texas that wants to go with us. We are also going to pick up another friend from Texas in the Clear Water, Florida area once we get over there.
