Northern Light is back on the Loop but in very cold weather. Departed Turner Marine at 9:30 am Tuesday morning with a great sendoff from the friends we met during our stay there. We crossed Mobile Bay under sail to our destination, a beautiful
peaceful anchorage at Ingram Bayou off the Gulf Intercostal Waterway were we saw a variety of wildlife (deer, dolphins, pelicans and loons) and several barges hauling jet fuel to the Pensacola Naval Air Station. We woke up this morning to 32 degrees in the cabin and 22 degrees outside. After a breakfast of hot oatme
al and coffee and waiting for the frost to melt off the dodger, we headed to our next stop at a marina in downtown Pensacola. From here we go out into the Gulf for the first time on a long sail (80 miles) to Pamama City. We hope weather will be warming soon.

Hey,
I'm glad you guys have warm clothes with you. It's already 27F here in East Lansing at 8:00am. We're expecting a heat wave today - high in the low 30's.
Sail on!
Greetings Northern Light Crew! We hope your journey is treating you well...well enough that is. We are all having a good time in Denver; exploring new places, tasting good beer, and enjoying the company of friends and family. The weather has been great, not so great for the slopes though. We hope this warm, spring-like air moves your way, so you may feel like you're living the dream. Live the dream baby! Lots of love, from Colorado and Oregon.
Man I wish I was with you guys, I love sailing when it's cold.
