Our Grayceful Waterbug just went through Big Chute again yesterday. Now known as “Patience” , but she will always be our “Waterbug”.

So much fun to watch a new couple experience what we have just accomplished, in our boat!

Keep it going…
Y’all, start your planning, this is the boat to do this trip. Who wants to be round 4 in 4 years… next year¿

Waterbug's final post…

We are very happy to announce that we have sold our Grayceful Waterbug to Michael and Joanna of Texas. They will be starting their Great Loop adventure Tuesday. Our Waterbug will now be known as “Patience”.

A year ago we bought her and left from a local marina in Destin. After a day out on the water helping Mike and Joanna get used to her, she is back at that same marina and ready to leave Tuesday to do it all again. This will be the 3rd consecutive year that our Bug has done the loop!

There have been tears, but we couldn’t be happier with the hands she is being left in and that she gets to do it all over again.

We crossed our wake! 🥳

As soon as we got in we started running. I was hoping to get the obligatory picture of us holding the gold flag together, but it’s yet to be taken.

I do have some fun pictures of that day, but the official picture will come soon.

Today is our big day.

We are thankful for being stuck in Pensacola for a few days. It allowed us to process everything.

Poor Mike. One minute I am kissing all over him, giddy about our adventure, the next I am sobbing that it’s over today.

Great dinner at Jackson’s Steakhouse. The perfect place to have our last meal of this trip.

See you all soon❤️

Pensacola, FL

We are 1 travel day from completing our loop. 1 day!

We left Mobile, AL after the Christmas boat parade came by to give us a show. Fun and very cool to have front row seats for it. Mike missed it:( but I am sure there will be more in our future.

From there we went to The Wharf in AL. Looks like it would be a blast in the summer with cute little shops, bars, etc, but we were the only ones there while we walked around and even at dinner. A lot of our trip has made me wonder where everyone is hiding.

We left The Wharf yesterday and stopped in Pensacola. There is a small craft advisory for the next few days. Traveling isn’t bad, we’ve been in worse, but it is white capping with water over the bow. We will stay here the next few days until this all passes. It would seem we don’t want this adventure to come to an end, but it’s the weather, I swear.

Pensacola is fun. Mike took me to Seville French Quarter last night and I loved it. I’m proud of myself to be out after dark. 9pm! When they told us it doesn’t start hopping until after 11, I gave up and we went back to the boat.

It looks like Monday is our day to cross our wake and complete this great adventure.

Mobile, AL

Over 130 miles today. Mike’s Aunt Joyce passed last night so we will be off the boat and back to Decatur for the funeral. :(
Joyce was one of the very first family members that I met. A very sweet woman with a kind heart. She will be greatly missed.

We were moving as soon as the sun gave light. Very little fog this morning which was greatly appreciated after several days of fog in the morning.

A very somber day of travel, but it was so good to see that we are back in the south. Dolphins! Spanish moss and marsh land.

Mobile, AL is a very commercial waterway. Kind of wild to go through, but fun to see it.

First day of dolphins in months. There were a lot of them.
We also passed Manatee again. They have done the loop over 30 times. We first passed them in May, in Charleston.
