December 1 through 12, 2014

Monday the 1st through Thursday the 11th::

After spending 3 weeks in Minnesota and Wisconsin we drove back to the boat and go here on December 1^st, The boat was still on the hard but they still let us stay on her. We both came back with colds; the first ones in over 6 years.

Last Saturday they had a "Parade of Boats" that went right by us in the Marina. There were about 30 boats and they all threw out candy and beads. It was a fun time. We can’t remember how many times we have been in Mobile and talked about going to tour the USS Alabama and since we had time on our hands we toured in last Sunday. On Tuesday the 9th, our good friends on RoyEl came into the Marina. They were traveling with a crew of 3 and we all went out to dinner and had a great time.

We were still waiting on Dog River to fix our bow thruster and they were having trouble finding parts and figuring out exactly what is wrong with it. We decided it was time to go so we had them put it back together and we will worry about that at another time.

CO;s comments:  If you need maintenance, Dog River is the place to go.  They are very, very fair and honest and easy to deal with.
