When I posted last, we were preparing for our trip home.  Well, before we left for home, we spent some time at St Simons Island again.  There was an Arts and Craft Show there and we had lunch at the Half Shell Bar.  We also met up with our friends Ron and Julie who were passing through the area on their way south.  We finally made it to the Rah Bar on Jekyll Island.  What a fun visit! 

Richard and Jill also swung by one evening for a drink.  We ended up at Foxy’s for dinner.  One sunny day, we were notified that someone would be looking at the boat.  So off to Walmart and Nicks Buffet for lunch.  We found out later that the interested party spent less than five minutes on the boat!  Guess he wasn’t so interested after all.  Oh well!

One thing that has really been going on in the Historic Brunswick area is the filming of the movie "Live By Night" starring Ben Affleck.  It's been pretty cool watching the crews transform the old town of Brunswick into a 1920s version of Ybor City.  We even got a few glimpses of Ben!
 
The night before we left for home we had dinner at Moondoggies.  I guess we’re trying to hit every place we can one before we leave for the winter!  Anyway, the next morning we were off to Missouri in the silver bullet.  Road trip!

 After a two week whirlwind trip back to Missouri, we are back on NautiNell preparing for our trip south.  When we got back to the boat, Bob and Katie were here on Floating Stone.  We spent a couple of days resting and watching our Royals win the World Series!  Go Royals! 

On Halloween the marina had a great party.  They furnished the pizza and the beer!  It was a great time!  The marina definitely knows how to treat their boaters here.  If we still have NautiNell next spring, we’ll probably end up back here for a while.  They treat you right!

The Stones left a couple of days later.  Yes, we went to dinner with them the night before.  Ha!  Any chance to eat and drink, I suppose……

Mike has been busy replacing two broken windows here in the salon area.  One of them was broken when we bought NautiNell the other one we broke while locking through one of the many locks on the Great Loop.  They have been down on his list for some time obviously, but our broker brought it to our attention.  Being the ol’ glazer that he is, Mike was able to fix them rather uneventfully.  J 

Richard and Jill are getting their boat ready to head south too.  They came by the other night.  We ended up at Cilantro’s for a great Mexican dinner – (pitchers of margaritas)!

Jerry and Carolyn (Sassy) will be at Jekyll Island Monday.  They plan to head out Tuesday with Jill and Richard.  If all goes well, we’ll be leaving Tuesday with them. 

In the meantime we’re waiting for the weather to move out so we’ll hopefully be traveling in some cool days full of sunshine! 
Till Next Time!
(Hopefully we'll be in warm and sunny Florida!)
