Big River

Welcome to the Journal of our adventures along the trip down the Mississippi... It contains accounts of actual happenings... at least the parts we can tell you!! The trip entails 2 months of marine living while we traverse the Mississippi & Tennesse riverways, as well as the coast of Florida. Thank you for visiting, and don't forget to drop us a note!

Day 14

Today will officially be two weeks on the river for us. It feels like so much longer. We are really enjoying life on the river and in the marinas. We may not have every luxury or convenience, but we have great laughs and new experiences that we would not trade for our old boring lives at the office. We both can’t imagine going back to the old way, as much as we love our friends and colleagues…
It is the most beautiful day today. The high is going to be in the 70’s. We always seem to be in a marina when the weather is nice. It is a good day to clean up the boat. Wash windows, vacuum, etc… Also a nice day to read in the sun (Grant) or take in a run through the countryside (Tabbie). We hope for a few more of these nice days.
We went up to the lighthouse restaurant attached to the marina to try and catch the game. However, we couldn’t catch the Badger game, and had to settle for the Texas vs. Oklahoma game. Grant ordered an interesting meal of toast topped with meat, then covered with fries and cheese sauce. Called the horseshoe. We stayed long enough to ensure that the Badgers were ahead and then headed back to the boat. Another calm and relaxing evening.
