This week we have traveled at least 60 miles a day. Most of the time its about 10 miles an hour. We arrived in Mobile yesterday and will leave on Sunday. The weather has been without rain for 5 days, which is great. It has been lots colder than I ever thought. Can't wait until we get to warmer days. We have anchored out under the stars a few nights and in/at marina's the other ones. I think the prettiest part of the day is the early mornings, sometimes with the low fog and total quietness it is almost spiritual. The river curves so much its like you are meeting yourself. Because of the rain north of us there have been sooo many large floating trees (which the loopers call sharks). It takes two people watching so we don't hit any. Of course Willi has to stay in his crate when its busy and after he has done that most of the day, he is wired.... We have been traveling with two boats Biddi and the Beast from Louisville Ky and Floating Stones from Cincinnati. Its their second time to do the loop so we have loved hearing their stories and learning all we can. When looking for a marina the first question we ask is, Do they have a courtesy car, then are there washers and dryers ( how many) and how close to a resturant.... The trip has been more than I ever thought. Its a great journey.
So nice to hear from you! It sounds like a great journey. Gary, Roxy and I love hearing about all the adventures. I can only imagine how difficult it would be raising a Westie on a boat. Gary said it would teach him discipline that he would probably not get if he was home ruling your house as alpha dog. That said I am sure the only way you can live with him is to take long, long walks once you dock. Take care. We miss you
