A look down the road

Charleston, SC

Another beautiful city with amazing architecture and history. We're wrapping up our northern bound "walk-about". We've had a great time taking in the sites of so many locales that in the past we've just past by as we've traveled north and south on 95....... in Charleston we stayed at the Inn on Meeting Street. A beautiful Inn were the setting exemplifies real "southern hospitality".

Now this is what Christmas decor should be like

Savann-aaah!!!!!

We are once again heading north this morning after spending two nights in this great town. The place is fun to walk around, restaurants are all over the place and the people are friendly to all of us tourists. A few pictures can really tell it all.

and Night Life!!

A visit to this town is not complete without a visit to Seagle's Saloon for cocktails and some tender loving "trash talk" with Miss Cindy Dean. Man, did we peg the fun-meter!!

Night lights....

Remember these?

A walk down the dock and.............

St. Mary's, Ga.

We are now making our way northward and yesterday's stop was St. Mary's. What a great little town! It's out of the way by road but right on the Intercoastal Waterway. It's a little after-season but we stayed at the Riverview Hotel and had a fantastic dinner at the Silver Star Steak House. This is the same town that does Thanksgiving dinner for the cruisers heading south for the winter...........over 56 boats were anchored out just a few weeks ago for the dinner sponsored by the people of S. Mary's and held at the Riverview.

The "White Tornado" at work!

After we left Grey Hound at All American Boat Yard we headed north to Largo to visit Dick's parents the Chief and Millie and had a great time!! We enjoyed lots of laughs and some really good grub!! Here's Millie hard at work poaching some really good eggs!

We are in Florida....at least for a moment!

Grey Hound is now in All American Boat Yard. We have her clean inside and out and she is ready for a winter in warm water. All we have to do is just launch her and hit the road. The yard has been very friendly and we'll post some information on the F-boat chat line. It's nice to feel warm air......

ps....Jeff........here is your next trailer boat!!

A view from the "Shot-gun" seat

That's the starboard side, Sailors!

Things are looking up!

We are southbound and "hammer-down".......pulled out of CNY this morning at 7:15am and made good time and distance in our escape from the soon-to-arrive wintertime blues. We drove through some rain but GHP kept us between the lines and "WOW" this rig (truck & trailer) really handle great! Dick and I both did 2 shifts and we are now spending the night just a little north of Richmond, Va. Tomorrow it's up early and we're hoping to be within a days drive away from Charlotte Harbor, Fl!

Happy Thanksgiving!

The day for turkey and all the extras is finally here and we will go up to Mimi & Dave's home for a feed and drink day. Anne has made the taters and squash and I'm certain there will be plenty for everyone.

Only a few more days to go until we head south with Grey Hound to get her out of the cold and snow.

Gobble Gobble!!

Jerry's newest pet......what do you think?

The marina cat, Hobie is MIA lately and I think Jerry is a little lonely but guess who showed up? We haven't figured out what we should name this guy........."T-GULL"? CORRECTION.....JERRY SAYS HE IS JONATHON!!!....Livingston Seagull??? :-0

He likes crackers!!

We're ready to head south!

Grey Hound is now ready to head down the road. Right now we are looking at the end of the month, a day or so after Thanksgiving. We had Cooper Canvas do up a couple of bags for the mainsail and boom and we're going to try to trailer with them on the trailer. Then the cabin is open and accessible.

We sure miss the sun......
