Day 149 | Rogersville | AGLCA Fall Rendezvous Day 2
Our meetings started early on Day 2 of the Fall Rendezous with a 7:45 breakfast session. The first morning seminar focused on getting from where we are now through the rivers to Mobile, AL. The second session provided tips of moving from Mobile to Carrabelle, FL. The afternoon picked up on the Gulf Crossing and more deeply covered weather windows and timing. Our final session, "Families on the Loop," was presented by 11 year-old Maddy with assistance from 8-year-old Molly. They have lived aboard for three years and are homeschooled. I enjoyed their take on their travels -- from learning history in Yorktown to attending a local school in the Bahamas. Maddy's list of favorite boat activities is not much different from mine.
We were dismissed at 3:00 only to find that it was raining and our Boat Crawls were threatened with cancellation.
The showers continued for another hour and no one was venturing out on the docks to tour boats. We had cleaned and straightened up
Crossroads and were disappointed that we couldn't show her off, so I took a few photos of "home" to share here. Below is the main living space, an open concept great room/salon, with a settee and dining table, off of the galley.
My bathroom has a stall shower. The second bedroom features bunk beds. The master stateroom is bright and has tons of storage.
The pilothouse is the command center and where we (mostly Barry) drive the boat. Then back out, looking at the salon from the other direction.
Thankfully, the showers let up and folks began to wander around. We had a dozen or so people come by before it was time to head back up to the lodge for our dinner session.
Tomorrow will be another full day of seminars followed by a visit to Peytona Farms for stable tours, a casual polo match, dinner, and a concert. With all the rain today, I am very glad that I have my paddock boots stored away. I haven't pulled them out since May 30. They probably still have some Cape May, NJ, mud on them.
