Ran on the river today. Things weren't perfect but we had our new best friend Alan on board to do the instant repair. New engine cooling system seems to be working fine now. The inverter is another issue. We have battled with this since last July. If we can't get this resolved it will reek havoc with refrigeration and heat while we are bound for Mobile. As things stand now, we are hopeful that the guys will solve inverter problems tomorrow and we will head for Mobile on Saturday. We'll anchor out, travel 6 or 7 hours a day, and arrive in Mobile on Wednesday, Feb. 11. There is only one place to stop for gas, but we should be fine without a fill up.

Hey, Hey, Hey. Good hearing from you. Glad you are on board save and sound and now have the distinction of being called "first mate" again. LB has his map out ready to hit the waves with the two of you. Will try to keep up with the Shockers, but know you will probably do that anyway. We miss you and are glad to hear about what is going on to keep us from having Hoob and Walpole withdrawals. We'll visit soon. Headed to Bella Vista for the weekend with Rick and Jamie. Sherry is already there. Should be fun....... Love ya LB and BB

Bella Vista is windy today! Hope your weather on the river is better than here. Hope all the adjustments on the equipment are the right ones and you will soon be floating away south.
