Finalizing projects!    

Seems to not end with the projects, but I think that we are getting done!!  We walked the dogs this morning and ran into Roxie, a dog from another Looper boat.  Brandi, Bailey and Roxie had a great time running around and around.

Short video of Brandi and Bailey playing with Roxie.  Too cute!  (hope it works)

I headed over to visit with Jacking for Lesson 101 Chart reading.  John had picked up charts of the Florida coastline and I needed to learn how to read them,  Crash course and onto the days planning for the next few days – anchorages, marinas, etc. We decided to stay at the Wharf for the rest of the day since we were still waiting on the mail and the final work with Xtreme Marine getting our Auto Pilot hooked up the the Simrad.  John wants to have this all done before we cross the gulf into Florida.

Cooked lunch and dinner early in the day in case we got busy later and again ate leftovers.  Not that they are bad but sometimes you just want to have something freshly prepared.  I am starting a list of items that I am running low on for our next trip to a grocery store.  Seems like all I do is go to Wally World or grocery stores for more provisions.  I may be a little over provisioning with being a little worried about running out of food.

Decisions made!  Leaving in the morning for Fort Walton Beach!!  I AM READY TO MOVE!!
