Monday night - August 1 - Carabelle, FL
We finally left Panama City about 1 p.m. We made it to Carrabelle - 94 miles from Panama City. Had a great trip. We were both so ready to leave Panama City. It’s a nice marina…lots of fishermen, cleaning lots of fish. MemoryMaker did really good. […]
Thursday, July 28th – Hermits Cove (Satsuma, FL)
Heading back over to Panama City in the a.m. to get back on the boat to continue our cruise. We were told it would be ready for us on Friday… At Volvo’s request, they replaced the transom housing in addition to the broken out-drive cradle.
Had a great week! […]
Saturday, July 23th – Panama City, FL
Still here…Rack and pinion system was not all of the problem. During the test run, as soon as the boat went on plane, the steering wheel froze. We rode around for a while with the technician lying on the floor, with the motor hatch raised, listening and watching the […]
Friday, July 22th – Panama City, FL
The “new and improved” rack and pinion system just arrived (1 p.m. Central time)…we were told that the overnight package missed the airplane in Memphis on Thursday…
From the marina, we have been able to ride along the bay for miles in both directions. Caught the fireworks last night that […]
Tuesday, July 19th – Destin, FL
Had another great day on Monday. Re-provisioned, went by and saw Kimmie’s horse, got a chance to visit some with Matt, had a great dinner at Steve’s and Brenda’s, swam in their pool, and just enjoyed hanging around with them. Days are starting to go by way too fast on […]
Saturday, July 16th – Fairhope, Alabama
Greeted by a thousand tiny ants running along our lines into the boat. Killed bunches and decided we needed to get untied and out of the slip at the Eastern Shore Marina. Friday, after we had the oil changed on MemoryMaker, we ended up with a free slip under a […]
Tuesday, July 12th – Fulton, MS
We woke early on Tuesday and pulled out of the marina before 6 a.m. One of the local boaters, Kojak, had come by MemoryMaker on Monday evening to bid us farewell and wanted us to be sure to blow our horn as we left the next morning. So, as we […]
Tuesday, July 12th – Fulton, Mississippi
We have been at Midway Marina 7 nights! So, we are REALLY ready to leave this rural Mississippi area. It was a great spot to wait out the storm, but Hurricane Dennis has passed. We were lucky…did not get much from him, little rain and some winds. Five locks and […]
Sunday, July 10th – Fulton, Mississippi
Still waiting for Dennis to arrive. On Saturday, a couple from the marina drove us over to Tupelo to rent a car for the weekend. Decided we’d get out and do some exploring by land. Went by Elvis Presley’s birthplace along the way…stopped and did a little exploring…without paying any […]
Monday, July 4th – Pickwick, Tennessee
Untied before 6:30 a.m. Sunshine was already bright by the time we headed out of Green Turtle Bay. Ran about a mile on Lake Barkley before taking the Barkley Canal over to Kentucky Lake. The canal is a mile or so long. The area between the two lakes is referred […]
