We have reached Mobile, AL and our friends and fellow bloggers Jax and Caye from Mangolandia and their wonderful sailboat Surkha at the Dog River Marina on the Westside of the Mobile Bay. Since getting in late last night we have spent much of our time hanging out, chatting, internet-ing, cooking, and relaxing in the spacious galley of Surkha.
Jena and I awoke this morning to rain and dreary skies. As we pulled ourselves from the comforts of the car to walk Hank we groaned and quickly were soaked through. After Hank's walk/potty break we took refuge in Surkha where we hung out and chatted away the morning before venturing out into the storm again to head down the road to the southern classic Waffle House restaurant where we took in generous helpings of hash browns, eggs, and of course, waffles.
Once our bellies were stuffed, we stuffed ourselves back into the Prius and headed back to Surkha to use the internet and wait out the weather. As the day progressed the rain subsided and our stomachs became open to hunger again so we set to making chili, cornbread, and choco-chip-oatmeal-walnut-rum cookies for dinner. As of now we are still relaxing in the sailboat waiting out more rain and wind but enjoying each other's company thoroughly.
