There's Ice On Ithaka!

We left Pirates Marina Cove on Saturday morning--got a late start because we were concerned about cell and Internet reception. We are in the middle of negotiating a few sales contracts and we needed to stay "connected"...We anchored at mile 270 at Sumter Landing. A very peaceful and quiet anchorage...but I suppose they are all going to be peaceful and quiet until we get back to warmer waters...not too many crazy loopers are this far back. I think we are pulling up the rear for sure. It's good that Ithaka is red, because she is the caboose!

It was 23 degrees in the morning when I went out to get the anchor up, and there was frost on the deck (click on photo) and icicles hanging from the windshield's eyebrow! Last night we stayed at The Demopolis Marina. We drank martinis and ate a hearty meal and turned in early...there are now 3 blankets on our bed!!! Brrrrrrrr...

We charted our course, and are hoping to be in salt water again in a few days! Looks like we will be anchoring again at least 2 more nights this week before we get to Mobile Bay on Thursday or Friday. There might be 'ice on Ithaka', but at least we know we are heading in the right direction...Take me home Captain...this Florida baby needs some warm sunshine!
