After a 03:30 wake-up, and a long day of travel by car, plane, and car again, we are safely aboard JULI-IV. We flew to Memphis and 'caught' a ride to the boat. A very nice gentleman, named Pete, picked us up in his Lincoln TownCar and delivered us (for a nominal fee, of course) to the marina. I have a picture of Pete and the boys.
We borrowed the Marina's courtesy car and made a run to the local Walmart for a few days worth of provisions. There are several installations, upgrades, and maintenance actions to perform tomorrow and we're hoping to get underway early Tues morning. It's about 50 degrees so we need to head SOUTH soon. We originally thought we would take a side trip to New Orleans, but since we were delayed due to health reasons, etc. decided to forgo the stop there. Can you imagine? SuperBowl week in New Orleans! Would have been a hoot!! More to come........
