Every Boat Has A Story


This is Uno Mas Por Favor. This boat was docked alongside us at Southshore Harbor in Clear Lake for about two years. The boat had a For Sale sign on it and we never saw a single person on the boat. Then right before we left South Shore in March '07 we noticed a couple cleaning the boat. Turns out they were Canadian and had purchased the boat with the intention of bringing it to Canada. Well Columbus, Mississippi is as far as they have gotten in almost two years. Talk about slow cruising. The marina manager tells me that the owner plans to continue his journey soon.

Life's Great at Columbus Marina

















We are in a covered slip at Columbus marina. We'll be here for a couple of weeks then continue south to Destin.

The restaurant at Midway Marina has turned serving water into a profit center. They charge 25 cents for a slice of lemon.

Running In The Rain



We left Joe Wheeler headed for Pickwick. The remains of Hurricane Gustav were dumping rain on Northern Alabama. We ducked into the Florence marina for a couple of hours then continued on to Aqua Yacht Harbor in Pickwick.

Joe Wheeler State Park





We overnighted at Joe Wheeler State Park Marina in Rogersville, Alabama. While there we spotted the M/V Marabob anchored farther up the creek. Tried to raise Bob on

the radio but he didn't have his ears on.
