Left Singing River Yacht Club this morning just after 8:00 am under grey skies and cold weather. Past Commodore, Rocky, came down to see us off and assure us if we stayed to the left going out of the channel we should be fine and shouldn’t go aground.  We stayed left, saw 1.8 feet under our keel, and made it out just fine. Not much to see out here again today.

We’re on our way to Homeport, Alabama. The trip started out a bit “choppy” then got pretty “lumpy” and pretty uncomfortable but then settled down for the last hour or so of the five and a half hour trip. Saw a few tugs/barges and three “pleasure craft”. One of the power variety and two of the sailing variety. These were the first sailboats we’ve seen since we left Kemah, Texas.

Arrived at Homeport Marina and Lucy Buffet’s Restaurant, LuLu’s, around 2:00 pm. We tied up and took the doggies for a walk. We didn’t see Jimmy anywhere but will let you know if he shows up while we’re here. Our plan was to go to Pensacola tomorrow but I wasn’t able to find a marina that had a guest space. So we’ll stay here for a couple more nights. It’s a nice protected marina and it’s supposed to be twenty-freaking-five degrees on Tuesday with winds gusting to 22 mph. I think it’s a bit pricey at $1.50 per foot plus $10.00 for electricity or $71.00 a night for us. But it’s protected and very comfortable.
