Day 33- Atlantic City, NJ

 DAY 33  May 19

Today is a rest day while waiting for the winds to calm down.

Time to refuel the Goose.

The Marina we are staying at in Atlantic City is run by the Golden Nugget

Next door is the MGM along with many other well know casinos.

After being in Las Vegas numerous times, it seems odd to me to see the marina and casinos together.

We ventured out by Uber and found a local diner, Brittany's. It had counter seating and one row of tables. Popular place with excellent food.

The short order cooks were extremely efficient! We were curious about the large pile of something on the tray by their heads, so we ask. 

This is a close-up of the food in question. Do you know what it is?? The answer is at the end of today's blog.

Grady is quite content, especially when the engine is OFF. 



The food item is, drum roll... The potatoes, the Home Fries. They were GOOD! 
Apparently they made a huge batch in advance and toss them on grill to reheat.

Almost READY

Thanks for stopping by to check on our progress on the Great Loop. This is Cheryl writing today. Grady, the gray house/boat cat is now on board and getting adjusted to the new sites, smells and sounds. The plan is to depart the dock on Wednesday morning! Seems like we have been planning for a while and are almost ready to go. Tonight will be the first night sleeping on board. So far the boat is very well equipped and comfortable. Paul has done an excellent job of seeing that it is ready. For those who want more information on the Great Loop click on this to go to the FAQ section of the official site AGCLA. Check back for the next blog after we are underway. Let the fun begin!!

  Wow! Amazing! Incredible! Life changing, maybe not. Life changing is a comment that several people have made about this trip. But, we have learned that they had never lived on a boat before. They had hardly ever planned a route, anchored, docked, slept at anchor, handled lines, encountered weather and done all the things that Paul and I took for granted because we had both done many times in the past.  For this we are both thankful for the history we brought into this trip.  Paul's knowledge and past experience and research made the trip safe, fun and easy. Was it a once in a lifetime trip, YES! We met a lot of very friendly folks. Ate a lot of really good food. Laughed our way around the miles.  Saw so many sights we have to look back on this blog to remember them all. Any way about it we are part of a very small group of people to do this trip. I will be eternally grateful to Paul for inviting me to join him on the Loop. It was a simple question.  "Do you wa...

Days 184-186- October 17, 18, & 19 Iuka, MS to Midway Marina, Fulton, MS to Columbus, MS

Tennessee River, Tenn-Tom Waterway, Tombigbee River A 525-mile long river that flows through the states of Mississippi and Alabama. The name Tombigbee, comes from the Choctaw word for "coffin makers," referring to tribesmen who prepared the dead.  Welcome to fall on the rivers!  Chilly nights and relatively warm water means fog, fog fog.  The treetops could be in sunshine, but that first 40 feet above the water reminds me of Maine. Tippy toe slow, radar on, autopilot driving on a route.   As the first hour or so passes, the sun does the job. That bird ever so kindly flew across the sun as I took the photo. Yay, it is burning off. Well, maybe not quite yet! Ok, now it's gone for the day. ...and then, one more patch of it. These structures show you where a river or a creek  enters the waterway from a higher elevation.  The 'teeth' break up the flow of water so it doesn't cause a problem in the channel.  All the ones we saw were dry, but spring ...
