Headed your way tomorrow. We are spending Christmas at the beach house (Mexico Beach/Port St. Joe Beach) before heading to Orlando for a bowl game on the 1st. I hope it is warmer there than in Northeast Alabama.

"Free dock, electric, secure parking, free water. It's what's on the land side of the dock that gets expensive." Ditto....plus wi-fi and cable and anything we forgot to take down to the dock the first trip :-) Seriously....if you can find a house on the water you have the best of both...

On Sunday, September 12th, we headed to Guntersville for lunch.. 28 miles or so from our dock. It was a beautiful day and there were lots of sail boats and a couple of barges. We got to Guntersville and the millfoil is horrible. Sure enough the port engine started smoking and overheating...

Don't forget one of the best vets in the world is on Panama City Beach. Scott McLelland. Hope all goes well. You have one of the smartest, if not the smartest, breeds in the world. Love those dogs.

Happened at an island near Orange Beach, AL on the Gulf Coast today. I cannot imagine what his wife & children are going through. I think a prayer or two is in order. A special one for whomever accidentally put that boat in reverse instead of neutral. A tragic accident...

What a great trip! I loved traveling with the Gulf/Keys with the Hamptons and this week I am in New York with you guys. We are lucky enought to live in a wonderful country that provides so many different experiences. Enjoy the rest of your trip and safe travels to all of you.

Dockside's at Port St. Joe Marina. One of my favorite places. An odd coincidence...we ran into a couple from Connecticut who are doing the Great Loop (they took a side trip up the Tennessee) & took them out to dinner Tuesday night. While at Goosepond Marina we met Ray & Patsy who used to be the...

It depends on the amount of time you have. From here in Scottsboro it takes Bill 3-4 hours (depending on side trips, swimming, and time to get through Nickajack dam) to get to Chattanooga going around 27 mph. If you started in Guntersville above the dam, it would add another hour. The prettiest...

Just sent you his name and number. This is our house we rent in St. Joe/Mexico Beach. http://www.vrbo.com/95734 Yesterday, we went out to one of favorite spots and on the way into the cove we hit something...never saw what. On the way home one engine running 3200 rpms, the other 5,000. Oh...

My brother-in-law lives in Port St. Joe. He is an attorney who specializes in real estate law. I will be glad to pass on his name if you are interested. We have property on Mexico Beach, Beacon Hill, Port St. Joe Beach, in town (Port St. Joe), Indian Pass, and Cape San Blas. We also have some...

We just got back from there on Monday...went down last Thursday. We snorkeled in St. Joseph's Bay and found a conch that was about a foot long. Go over to the point at Cape San Blas, anchor and there are spots about waist deep that are covered with sand dollars. Just be careful...there is a...

For those interested in the conditions in the panhandle area of Florida....we have been here since Thursday and rented a pontoon boat yesterday from Sea Horse Rentals at St. Joe Marina. Following are some pictures I took while we were out. The first two are on the beach at our house in Mexico...

Just got back from a boat ride with friends :-) Beautiful sunset and over a two hour period we saw maybe 3 fishing boats. One of those hours was cruising down the Tennessee River and back. I guess everyone was scared off by the scattered showers. Hope you are in the water soon. The little fellow...

Congratulations to your family and welcome back to your life ;-) Seriously, from the part of North Alabama that has Dumb & Dumber representing us, she has her work cut out for her. Hopefully she will not be trying to decide what to do about this oil leak her entire first term. It's great that...

Welcome to the Tennessee River. I am following the blog of a couple from Tellico who are doing the Great Loop on their trawler. Their blogsite is below. www.tellicolady.com My husband is in Chattanooga this weekend on his annual "Class of '74" boys weekend. It is about 4 hours from here...

When do you use your generator? My husband has gotten so spooked that even though our "new-to-us" boat has one, I doubt we well ever use it. I would think it needs to be used to at least makes sure it still works.

This site has been invaluable since we found this boat in December. If Bill ever has a question, I just jump on this forum and have had an answer usually within a day. It is a great resource. We love people who love boats. Being on the Tennessee River we see pleasure boaters from all over the...

We are getting the camper canvas that makes it taller in the front with the eisenglass. As it is now, Bill cannot stand up while driving which is a pain, not to mention dangerous, while getting on plane. When we get pics I will post them. It is supposed to have zippers everywhere for all sorts...

We bought our boat the 3rd week in December. There were a few minor repairs needed as well as new camper canvas to order. All we asked was for her to be ready by April 15th. "Take your time (big mistake)....no rush." Several thousand dollars later (not including canvas), Bill drove her home last...
