7/22 - Gore Bay

After another peaceful night at anchor we headed 15 miles across the channel to Gore Bay. The weather is expected to get showery for the next several days, so we decided to pull into the Gore Bay Marina for the night to see what happens. Shortly after we tied up, "Houlegan" with "Loopers" Ray and Caryl from Mississipi, pulled in. We last saw them on Saturday in Killarney, when they stopped by to chat. Since we never had a chance to really get to visit with them, we invited them aboard for cocktails. We had a delightful evening hearing about the experiences they've had on their trip which they began in Gulfport on 12/1/08. Ray is retired from the Navy, and Caryl is retired from the Air Force and is a registered nurse. They expect to be back home by this Thanksgiving.
