Just found blog I forgot that you told me you had a blog so Gene suggested I 'Google' it. Sure enough it popped right up. Glad to hear that you are making progress but please keep an eye on the weather. There is a storm south of here. Too early to tell what direction it is headed. Looking forward to welcoming you home in PG.
We're tucked in at Caladesi Where will you guys be on Sunday. We might hit Sarasota. Rog has a nasty caugh and needs some meds. Of course, none are available at our remote Caledesi.
Great Job! Hi Mary and Roger-this is so cool!Your descriptions and pics are wonderful as we follow your journey.I have you on my prayer list for the overnight.GOOD LUCK,love ya MaryAnn
Re: Another Beautiful Day On The Water You must be living on a Wishbone! (Sound familiar?) Looks and sounds as if you are having a great trip. We will look forward to seeing which route you take from Mobile. Have fun and be safe.

Contrasts Beautiful - glad it's going smoothly. Actually, I'm feeling a little sorry for you folks.... knocking yourselves out on these long days on the river. Happily, here in Stony Brook, it's Monday morning, about 50 degrees, raining and I'm going to work. MMMMMM???
It appears you guys are making real good time. I didn\'t expect you to get to Mobile until the end of next week. I assume you are at the northern end of Mobile Bay. Where do you go from here?
Enjoy the rest of your trip!
Looks like fun! Now I had a chance to catch up with all your notes and pictures. Great! At Kentucky Lake Dam, I think, is a state park with a runway where I landed and stayed overnight. From there I went to Crossville, TN and had a new engine installed. We spent the week whitewater rafting and at sites along the Blue Ridge including Gatlinburg, and Ashville. One week later we flew the tested the new engine and flew home. One week latter it required a new cylinder. At that point I wished I had the old engine even with all the hours. The new engine never was as good as the old. When I sold the plane it was ready for another engine. I was glad it wasn’t going to be my problem. The rivers are beautiful! My friend Jean did your route with her Great Circle trip. She enjoyed the area so much they bought a condo in Chattanooga. I either landed there or Huntsville depending on the weather. Good weather was Chattanooga, bad was Huntsville.
Bon Voyage This sounds like Mary has her hands full. Roger may end up tied to the mast- opps, where is the mast. Well don,t get yourself keel haulled.
Piseco is having a major beautiful weekend for Columbus Day. We even had Japanese tourists taking pictures of the lake! Maybe the secret is out!
Have loads of fun, Frank
Thanks for the updates. Pouring rain in PGI today. Panache is doing the Summerset series in FM. Been blowing like "stink" and pouring rain.
Keep the blog going and stay safe
Rog and Mary most often cruised aboard one of their sailboats. Now, that they are turning the corner to the dark side, they are venturing off in their newish PDQ 34 Yacht. Their 19 yr old border collie, Buddy, is aboard and ready for a new adventure. Heading down from northern Kentucky Lake to Punta Gorda, Fl., they will travel the Tenn River and the TomBigBee waterway to Mobile, Al. From there they head 'er across the Gulf of Mexico to Tarpon Springs or Clearwater. So...ship ahoy!!... full info
