We attended the first full day of the Rendezvous today. Heard sessions on travelling from Pickwick to Mobile Bay, which is the section we are doing when we leave here, and another on Mobile Bay to Tarpon Springs, which will bring us into Florida. This afternoon there were separate sessions for men and for women, with open discussions for each. Apparently we discussed very different things in our separate sessions. We requested a vessel safety check from the auxiliary coast guard and they did the check this afternoon, so we now have a certificate and a sticker saying that we meet the US Federal safety regulations. This evening was a reception and dinner. We spoke with a representative of a marina that may be a good place to leave the boat when our children are in Floriday; we also both won door prizes. Wayne won a one year Marinalife Premier Membership which provides access to concierge services for boaters. We still need to figure out what that is all about. I won a Cruising Guide to the Bahamas, which we needed.
Rain and wind overnight last night, one large boat anchored in the bay at the marina dragged anchor and floated around the bay; they tied to a dock at the other end of the marina. Sunny and warm again today, and a beautiful evening tonight.
