The "I Love Lucy"
It has been a while since we have checked in with everyone.  You would think being retired we would have all the time in the world but the days just fly by.  We have been at Bay Hill Marina for over a week now and we will be here until October 22 when we will go the Joe Wheeler State Park for the Looper Rendezvous.  The Loopers here are a busy group.  We have been to several "Docktail" hours, had a pot luck, and went out to Sunday Brunch.  Many are getting ready to go further south for the winter.  One couple, Ed and Lucy, left today; their boat is named "I Love Lucy".  I think that is so sweet of Ed to name the boat after his wife.  We got up early this morning to say good bye.  We hope we run into them again this winter.  It's sad meeting people and then having to say bye so quickly after meeting.  Another couple, Dave and Joy, have a huge paddle wheel tug named Columbia and they only need a 2' draft; they can go any where.  They let us use their truck to go to town for supplies.  Roy El is the 3rd boat on our dock and Roy and Elvie are the owners.  They have been living on their boat for 7 years!  Everyone has been real nice and very helpful.  All three boats have been up and down the Tenn-Tom and all around the gulf and have given us great anchorages to use.  Three other looper boats left already. 

Good Bye Ed and Lucy

We will see you again, I Love Lucy
