Woke to a beautiful day! It is time to move this boat to a marina and get her cleaned up. There is salt spray everywhere, I mean even in places we didn't think it was possible for it to be.

| Condos in every direction We spent the afternoon making our way down the ICW to Gulfport Municpal Marina. We went through at least 6 bridges on the way here, I kind of lost track. And there were LOTS of boats, all sizes, shapes and colors, literally. Here are some pictures from the trip...        
It was great to see so many sailboats out and about. We are kind of used to be in the minority compared to power boats. We even had one bridge that was actually kind of cool. Love their city emblem on the side.

Into the marina we go. A quick stop at the fuel dock to pump out and John backed the boat into the slip. Tomorrow Free Bird gets a bath, too tired to do it today yet. Steve and Dee took a taxi back to their car and we spent the rest of the day trying in vain to watch the Packer game. We got every station EXCEPT the one carrying the game. Could have gone into town but just didn't have the energy. One more night to recharge our batteries and we should be back to "normal".
So glad you had great weather for your long journey. So glad you got to see Steve and Dee. Love the pictures of the interesting other boats. Weather here today is NO SNOW and about 37. Really a very nice day. Maybe not as nice as yours, but we will take it. Cool to think you were actually pretty close to Orion when it launched today. Would have been cooler if you could have seen it. Miss you!
