We had an uneventful journey driving up here although we were leaving very early in the morning but everyone rose to the occasion and we made great time. 2 days!
Back when we were in Dog River Marina a reporter came bye during one of our cocktail parties and conducted an interview with all of us. I sent him pictures but they weren't published with the article he wrote for the local paper. We did finally find the Looper article and we are mentioned. The party was on our boat.
On the night of this interview, several couples were gathered in the salon of another Looper’s trawler. It was a bon voyage party, as three vessels were leaving the next day. Their destination was Sandestin, Fla., where they had dinner reservations for Thanksgiving. The convoy had meet previously on the Loop, and decided to make the trip together.
“This is a fabulous experience,” said one Looper. They had come from as far as Wisconsin and Connecticut. One captain’s goal was to keep heading south until he did not see another snow shovel (he had left 18 inches of snow in May).
We'll be here in the bright glow of ice and snow until after the new year. 
Hey you guys, we can't seem to get away from Turner's marina. We've been here since Dec. 16th. Waited out the rain and cold then met some great folks that have taken us all over,fun to hang out with but we gotta get south. Hope to catch up to you soon. Happy New Year.
