Pfew!  We have arrived.  Well, we arrived a couple of days ago and have been having such a great time that we’re now just posting an update.

On the way from Texas, we stopped at a great place in Mobile – which I think was the only great place in Mobile . . .

Then, we were up early and on the road to Panama City, Florida where we met up with Dawn and Tom, who we actually met in Panama City, Panama almost a year ago – small world, eh?  I can’t believe the last time we saw these two was when we helped them transit the Canal on Valentine’s Day!   In case you missed that story, you can catch up on it from our last blog here (migrating those posts over soon . . .).

After two days in Panama City, great times with Dawn and Tom, and a wonderful meal at Sweet Racks (run, don’t walk to this place if you’re in town) we were so eager to move South towards Mother Jones.

But, we do have two stops to make before we meet up with her tomorrow evening:

1. Here we sit in Homosassa Springs to see the manatees!  Pics to come once we see them tomorrow . . .
2. Pick up a mattress for the port cabin from a generous Gem owner in Cocoa Beach (why, yes, that is on the other side of the state  . . .)

Anywho, we’re just hear in the “Bella Oasis” motor inn, soaking in cable and ice before we move aboard tomorrow night.  Talk soon friends and thanks for reading!
