We're back on the boat again, ready to go cruising.... but we're staying in Columbus, MS to see what Hurricane IDA will do in the Gulf of Mexico before we go there. There are lots of boats going south these days, including any Great Loop Route cruisers, so everybody is trying to find a spot to hole up. We're lucky to have a great covered slip at this nice marina, and our car here. At the first stop downriver, there are no dock spaces left and the boats are "rafted" at the docks 2 or 3 deep by tying boats up against boats already at the dock.

The whole hurricane season went by with almost nothing, and now when we want to go, a hurricane pops up. Ah, well.... that's boating! We'll stay here and I can get a few more fix-it things done and we'll drive around to see the area some.
