We are Getting Ready in Slidell for the Adventure of a lifetime

Laura & I are getting excited about our next adventure in life. We are planning to leave on America's Great Loop as soon as the new fuel system is installed in Bayou Gypsy.

We have spent the last year and a half getting the 1985 Sundeck Trawler ready for the Great Loop. We have updated the electronics, repaired the autopilot, replaced the navigation lights, replaced the generator with a new 16KW yanmar, working on the fuel system and tanks (we'll have 700 gallons when we get underway), added new digital TV antenae, and replaced the sanitation hoses.

We have one more short, work it out, trip planned before we head south.

  1. Well, King Neptune has kept us at the dock. The weather has been so bad the crosisng from Carrabelle to Clearwater has had only three good days in November and five in December.

    We did take the Bayou Gypsy to Biloxi, MS for New Years. Had a great time celebrating with our good friends Greg & Peggy.

    We are still trying to get south, probably not for the winter though. Maybe the Spring?

    See you on the water....
