Good morning Dave. I have to laugh 😆 we haven’t paid the bill yet. I do have an idea but waiting on them to give me my bill. As soon as I know I will let you know. Thanks for reaching out to us.

Hey Dave
FYI our bill for stepping our mast came out to $518.00 it’s a bit high but not enough to complain about.

Hey Bryce and Jane,
Cathy and I have been following y’all almost daily since we departed MYC. We dodged the Memphis Queen as we entered the MS River and she was coming in. AIS is a great tool. We traveled with then passed the Nina and Pinta on our journey home. We made it to Little Rock on 10/25. They made it a couple of days later. We are land bound until after Christmas, then will cruise up AR River early next year. Enjoyed your post on lower MS as that will be our route when we leave in 2019 for Michigan. Safe travels, keeping posting. Bob and Cathy, The Office to be re christened as The 4th Quarter.

It was so nice to hear from you two. Bryce and I enjoyed meeting you two. We are in Turner Marina. Our engine might need to be repaired. But I guess that happens sometimes while cruising. I think it is funny we think of you two often. Keep in touch. Happy Holidays 🍷

Hi Jane & Bryce,
We’ve been following you guys since your first loop and love the informative posts. Just wondering how the engine repair/replacement is going. Was the Little Red Engine an atomic 4? We have a 30′ Pearson on the Chesapeake Bay & are total newbies to sailing. Hope you guys are back on the water soon!

Thank you so much for following us. No, The Little Red Engine was a Westerbeke. I am very excited now that New Years is here…LOL it brings the Mid- of January closer.

Good Morning,
I have been seeking info on how soon one can step a mast, going south, after Chicago. I was told that you did such, soon after, on your first loop. Is this correct and can you share any insights on doing such?
Thanks,
Eric

We noticed that the bridges on the lower Mississippi are high enough that we could have re-stepped at the Ohio River. But no marina is available to restep. So we re-stepped in New Orleans. The other route, TomBigbee the bridges are too low for us. So have to restep in Mobile.
