    Wow, that was an adventure! We came across in the fall - it was
    cold & rough seas the first day & night, then warmed up and no
    wind ...
    My boat is a '82 Pacific Seacraft Orion ... bought needing refurb,
    she's a beauty & a great boat for me!

    back to Portofino where we had the Endeavour 42 CC sloop. Became
    aware of the prices etc. at Blue Dolphin in early December. NEW 45
    and 50 foot slips, new clean 72 inch dock boxes, club house,
    bathrooms and showers, free laundry facilities and such at $250 a
    month. Currently in a 45 but moving over to a 50, same cost and more
    room for the dink etc. Plus Portofino still has major depth problems
    do to shoaling.

    > Been at Blue Dolphin since December 26th, the day I arrived back
    from bringing the boat back from St. Petersberg, Fl to Clear Lake
    all by myself. I left St. Pete and sailed 28 hours to Appilachicola,
    Fl. A short 20 mile jaunt down the ICW to Port St. Joe. Then
    offshore to Panama City. Then Panama City to Pensecola a sharp left
    into the ICW then about what 25 miles to Mobile Bay. Across Mobile
    Bay and the Mississipi Sound to New Orleans. From there I stayed
    inside on the ICW to Galveston and then up the Bay to home. Great
    trip if you discount the fact that it was very cold wet and windy
    from Pensecola to Texas. So Foggy when I arrived at Pensecola I had
    to go offshore 6 miles and heave to for four hours until it lifted.
    I honestly cound not see the bow it was so thick. Thank you for the
    chart plotter!!
