This is a short & sweet posting. We are now in our new home port in Biloxi, MS after staying one additional day in Mobile, AL waiting for the wind and waves to calm down for our trip. While we were in Mobile, we enjoyed a birthday dinner with other loopers at a seafood restaurant called Felix's. We also enjoyed an afternoon of music with Joel from Water Music and Bill from Carried Away. Both are very talented musicians.

What an amazing trip it has been. On the way across the Mississippi Sound today we got to see lots of dolphins which was really an amazing treat. Prior to departing this morning all the loopers had a big pot luck dinner last night. Hilary counted about 40. It was hard to say goodbye to so many new friends we've met over the past three months as today as we turned west for Biloxi, everyone else turned east for Florida to continue on the loop.

In total we traveled 2,143 miles over the past three months and put 261.5 engine hours on our very reliable engines. Average price for diesel was $4.05 per gallon and the average price for the transient well each night was $1.04 per foot.
Thank you all who have been faithful blog followers. With the completion of our journey, our blog is also complete.
