| Snow & ice at Fairhope Yacht Club |
Our stay in Fairhope, AL has been very nice. We have enjoyed some wonderful restaurants, walked around the quaint downtown, and enjoyed meeting new people at the Yacht Club (Taco Night, Chili Cook-off, Pot Luck dinner). Thomas has enjoyed getting out by himself and riding his bike downtown. David was busy last week working and gettting some repairs done. After a wonderful visit with Jill's cousin & family, he was dropped off at the airport for destinations further north (yes, he arrived in snow).
Meanwhile, Jill & the boys braced for the worst winter storm the northern Gulf has seen in decades! Southern Mississippi & Alabama are not used to temperatures below 40 degrees, much less snow and ice in January!! Tuesday, after a morning of rain, it turned to sleet, then snow and started covering everything to shut all the towns on the Gulf Coast of MS, AL & northern FL. We awoke this morning to icicles on our rails, frozen decks on the boat and frozen docks. What a sight!
We are safe and sound and warm hiding out on the boat - plenty of food, water, and heat. We hope to start defrosting tomorrow!
