Friday was spent doing chores. We had Happy Hour on "Trusty III" and were treated to a viewing of a video of Claude and Yvette's first trip around the loop. We all brought our Thanksgiving dinners (we had bought a turkey breast not knowing we would be invited out) to "Trusty III" and ate together. After dinner, we assembled on "Runaround Sue" and played Farkle.
We stayed put on Saturday as well. The weather was chilly and windy. There doesn't seem to be a weather window to do the crossing for several days, so we stayed. Lunch was at Calypso Joe's at the marina. Then we borrowed the courtesy car and investigated the surrounding area. Orange Beach is a big fishing destination and known for its beaches, although right now it's much too cold to swim. We saw a big jelly fish right next to our boats in the harbor.
Today we left Orange Beach at our usual 630 A.M. There may be a crossing window on Thursday night. We are making our way to Panama City where we hope to pick up John's Aunt and Uncle, who are planning on doing the crossing with us. We are looking forward to seeing them and are excited that they want to cross the Gulf with us. Time will tell exactly when that will happen. We don't want to take unnecessary risks.
