Go see a Dr.
No one can reliably diagnose this way. It could be anything, something serious, or nothing.

How's that foot doing?

 

[Daddyo]

Hey Dave,
Are we having fun? Hope the foot works out. I'm what 6-7 weeks into mine and I've got a long way to go. The trip looks like fun. Tell you what I'll keep going and we will meet again in Canada.

 

[David Carter]

Well I'm back at it. I was anchored out for almost a week I guess. Trying to get over the loss of my crew. I'm still not sure why but it can't be for the reasons I was given. But I'm about outta fresh water and provisions. Just passing the sandbars west of Ft. Walton I hope to dock in Pensacola tonight.

 

[David Carter]

How's that foot doing?

Thanks for asking. It's not swollen anymore and I can bare it. I have to be gental when I first get up but I plan to wait til I get north.

Gentle or genital? If the latter, that's a f---ing shame!

?

 

[Ben]

Sorry. Beer made me say that. :-|

 

[David Carter]

Yea but I always seem to land next to a lightning rod...

 

[Capthead]

Some boaters are just smart that way.

Gotta keep those batteries charged...

 

[David Carter]

I just passed Lu Lu s Jimmy Buffetts sisters place.

 

[David Carter]

I'm crossing mobile bay. Then north to Tennessee

 

[David Carter]

Coming into Mobile. I was a little nervious coming across the shoals to get into the shipping channel. But I'm in now.

I stayed at the Fairhope yacht club for two days. I can't say enough about the hospitality. I felt like family. I think when I decide what I'm doing part of it will be to become a yacht club member. It's also a great place for my motor boat with all those lighting rods.

 

[David Carter]

Safe from the storm

 

[David Carter]

Lets try this

About three years ago I helped a gut move a 36 ft sailboat from Pensacola to Slidel,La.We stayed offshore until Mobile Bay and then came in on the Mobile Ship Channel .It was not pretty.I wish we would have taken the ICW all the way.Then we tried to anchor in Mobile Bay .No luck there.Live and learn.
We are wanting to make that trip down to Orange Beach area from Tennessee someday. We just did a trip this past week from Paris Landing to Green Turtle Bay.Thanks for posting your trip.I'll be checking in everyday.

David, wish I had known that you were at Fairhope YC. I would have had you say hello to John Adams. Maybe you met him around the bar. He is a very good mechanic, and good guy.

Sounds familiar. I'm terrible with names. They were a great bunch of guys. I met a few on Tuesday they met for coffee to share their knowledge or is it wisdom when your a little older. I know it gets mixed with a little bull along the way.
