Pumpkins

Yes we have turned into pumpkins.  Our time is up.  We made it to The Wharf Marina last night (Saturday) after a 107 nautical mile run from Panama City.  The seas were calm, so we ran in the Gulf and arrived here around 5:30 PM.  Today (Sunday) we are cleaning the boat and preparing to re- enter the world.  We have not read a newspaper or watched the news since we left Palm Beach.  We have kept in touch with our offices via e-mail and cell phone, but that has been it.  It has been a relaxing adventure, and we are not the least bit cramped on the boat.  The loop is definitely in our plans.   We will rent a car tomorrow and drive to Houma.  The good thing about leaving the boat here is that our mechanic, Bruce, will take care of the list while here. Stats:  Total nautical miles traveled from Palm Beach to Orange Beach-1,029.  Total engine hours-122.  Total fuel-1,192 gallons. Signing off for now.
