am not sure if you revieved my comment to make shure you have a Pirates Cove Hamburger for me. As you are aware, they are legandary among the cruising folk. actually, it is my favorite marina, we always anchor in roberts Bayou and dink in for burgers and beer. The barrier islands along the Mississippi Sound are uninhabitable. Horn island has the ranger station, West Ship Island, fort Massatuchets (1 for spelling, just not my day) Cat Island, Smugglers Cove protected anchorage for all but a SW wind and of course there are fove yacht clubd along the Mississippi coast with very conpetive sailors. If you are a yacht club member, I know Biloxi Yacht club is up and running and welcomes recipical privilages. What is your destination?

I have been living aboard an Allied Seawind II ketch since 1988 and presently on Sabine Lake, PAYC. Moved from Biloxi, Ms the spring of 2000 by ICW. A six day run with one 18 hr day. been across the gulf twice Ms to TX by ICW tw times, Ms to Sarasota area 5/6 times. Normally singlehand. I think, just maybe, my next stop will be the Matagorda Bay area. time will tell.

Great! I liked Appalachicola ! Great city dock.could use some real restrooms/showers.. Neat town.
Looks like ya have to drive through a little weather coming west, but the north winds should make for nice sailing since there will be little fetch forthe waves to build.
