We have had a lot of rain this week. We've been studying weather radar and forecasts and just going about 28 miles a day to try to avoid heavy rains. We moved along and were lucky not to be in any high winds. Yesterday for the first time we drove the boat from the lower helm. It was cozy, and we stayed warm and dry. We listened to "Wait, Wait" and "Car Talk" and Georgia Tech football on the radio. We stayed at Riverwalk Marina in Decatur, AL. Strangely, there was no real walk along the river or to the town. So we just went to the bar on site, The Hard Dock Cafe, and watched the Auburn loss to Mississippi State.
Today we continued to Joe Wheeler State Park Marina for the Fall Rendezvous. We passed a group of white ibis sitting on the water. They scattered when we passed. See the black wing tips?
We are so glad to be here. The two boats beside us are from Vermont and Nevada. There are several Canadian boats here too. I am surprised to see boats from so far away. We'll be here all week, learning boating tips and meeting people who are also doing the loop.
