Off We Go!

I'm so pleased to tell you that we're on our way at last! Thank you, God! We had a false start about 9 am, when we pushed off from the dock and the throttle broke off in Daren's hand! YIKES! Fortunately, Sue was there to catch a line and Daren was able to fix it and we left again at 11 am. By then, it was too late to go to Corpus Christi, so we went about 10 miles to Mud Island and are at anchor here now. It's a lovely spot, and very calm and not cold at all! Daren took the dogs in to shore, and they had a blast running up and down the beach with their little life vests on! It's the first time they've been off leash (except for in the marina) since we left the farm back in August, so they were ecstatic! They are really doing well as sailor dogs, and enjoyed the ride. I'm so relieved about that! I was worried they wouldn't "go" on the deck, but Libby didn't hesitate to decorate the forward deck while we were still underway! What great dogs! : )
