We Moved!!

Today's plan was to go down to Port Isabel and stay a couple days, and see our MO friends, Shelly and Jack, but we discovered that we were firmly stuck in the slip! I thought it was funny when friend Sandy, who was kind enough to cut my hair to match hers, was impressed that the boat felt so SOLID! Well, now we know that's because we've been sitting in the mud! We also found out that we can't get into a marina in Port Isabel! Even the city dock there only has 5.5 feet! This 6 foot keel is kind of a liability, but we'll be glad for it when we're crossing the Gulf to Isla Mujeres...one of these days!
Anyway, we were finally able to leave the City dock at high tide (2:30 PM) and came around the corner to 12 feet deep water behind our favorite restaurant, Pelican's Pub! It's really nice back here and the dogs have a great little private beach to get in the water to swim with Dallas the cook's 2 dogs, Major, a 9 month old German Shepherd, and Kaylie, a brindle boxer. They all had a great time romping around! Pete and Libby already prefer it! Pete's got another week on his meds, but he's doing very well. We still have to give him honey in order to get him to eat something, which isn't much. Still, he runs around and swims like everything's fine!
We're not sure how long we'll be here, but it's a great little town, with lovely people, a nice community church, great food here at Pelican's Pub, where the dogs can join us out on the tropical deck, and Jan gave us a good rate for a month's stay. Still, Daren's watching the weather, and we will head across the Gulf as soon as we get a decent window (5 days) of good weather.
