Welcome to Joe Wheeler!

Friday was a short hour cruise from the mouth of the Elk River over to Joe Wheeler State Park. We will be posting from here all week, attending the AGLCA Fall Rendezvous and visiting with other loopers! 

It finally warmed up enough for a dinghy ride to explore the harbor.

Boats are starting to fill in, the next 2 days will busy with arrivals!

Toscana got an endcap! :)

Sat was filled with helping new arrivals to their slips, lounging around with a couple beers, and game night with 3 other crews in the lodge. Some LRC dice and a great game of cards. Tomorrow we have to prep for the tailgate kickoff party!

Sunday new arrivals started to get more interesting, as things got tighter. We really do take over this marina! The kickoff party was a big hit! Unfortunately it left us with headaches Monday morning. 😅😂

The rest of the Rendezvous kept us busy, connecting with old friends, and making new ones! Here are some wonderful drone images taken by another member.

The Perch, and Light & Salty left Thurs evening, only to be trapped in the Wheeler lock for about 6 hours. A repair team got 1 door functional about 9pm for their escape. We are set to lead a flotilla out at daybreak and are hoping the repairs are complete and we can get headed for home.
