The weather here is delightful: warm, sunny, and breezy. Today we did some chores in Gulfport. I put the second coat of paint on my kitchen stool. I bought this stool on the day of our crossing. Just walked across the street from the Carrabelle marina and begged a gift store to sell it to me. I was a bit desperate. The stool was a bit rickety, but it was our seat for the lower helm. The store owner let me pay $40 for it. Now it has two coats of Harbor Blue.
George built around his computer, so it will be secure when we bounce on the gulf. He also added a wooden brace to the wall beside our shelf. We can bungee the baskets onto the shelf, so they won't fall off. We hope these changes mean our belongings can stay in place as we travel. When we made the crossing, we put most things on the floor. Still we had some banging and crashing when we hit the waves poorly.

Here's a panoramic view of the "great room." (Ha!) This is our study, dining room, kitchen, and living room. See the baskets with bungee cord on the left; then the fridge and kitchen; and the lower helm with its wheel. George is sitting at his desk, working at his computer. He does some CAD work, which he enjoys and which brings in marina money.
Last night we missed the Christmas boat parade. However, we did see two boats parading through our marina. They were loaded with children, which was festive. Just like riding on a float at home. Plus these actually do float!

I'm trying to hang our Christmas lights, but the directions say not to hang on metal. What? I may just hang on the clothesline with our prayer flags. We're heading downtown in a couple of hours to go the O'Maddy's and watch the game, surrounded by Florida State folks. Hope they are jolly.
