Monday was just another shopping day… I woke up in Mississippi and then drove to Alabama. My first stop - Bayou la Batre to look at a Gulf Star 50’. It was funny with this visit. I called my yacht broker in Kemah, Texas who is handling this boat, he calls the owner in Shreveport, Louisiana and I’m driving to Alabama to see the boat. The owner calls his 76 year old neighbor (Cliff) to come open it up for me. AFTERward, I had a killer lunch at the Lighthouse Restaurant there in Bayou la Batre. then i Saw a very clean 41’ Morgan Classic in Mobile. Then I drove to Pensacola Florida to see another boat. (catalina 38) In the morning I’ll drive down to Tampa and start over with more shopping.
Tonight I had fresh Tuna appetizer, Redfish and veggies down on the waterfront in Pensacola.
Lunch / grouper. 
It’s going well. I’m really enjoying my search. Yesterday I realized this is NOT a job, its a ‘vacation adventure.’ So I’m slowing down and smelling the roses. Having fun.
