Good evening! I want to apologize for the long pause in writing a new post. Life gets in the way as we all know. Let me fill you in on what we have been up to.
1st I have finally finished nursing school and have passed my boards!
2nd We have moved to Mobile, Alabama.
3rd. Since ATB is still on Lake Lanier and Wes travels back and forth for work in Atlanta, we have turned ATB into a floating apartment. I must admit it is very cozy. I will add photos of ATB next month.
4th I have secured a nursing position at one of the local hospitals. I still have my respiratory license though and will never give it up and found a PRN RT job as well.
Wes has settled in on ATB, and she is looking good. We changed our room to the back bedroom because there is more room there than in the front of the boat. Though we have a shower on the boat, now it is not working so there is a shower/laundromat at our old dock which is about 5 minutes away from our new dock that we moved to.
We also got cable/internet specifically for our boat. Brightlan specifically sets up internet services for marinas and campgrounds. Great idea! So now We can watch Prime, Netflix or regular cable on the boat to make it more home like.
Life in Mobile-
We went beach fishing last week on Dauphin Island, and of course here is the link- https://www.townofdauphinisland.org/.
Wes finally caught a black drum. Or maybe it is a red fish!?!?! We cannot tell. But he named him Jacob and released him back into the ocean to live out his life. Jacob looked old and he had to weigh at least 50 pounds. Wes was sure that Martha, (Jacob’s wife), would be upset that he had a hole in his lip from the hook used to snatch him from the sea. It made Wes feel better that he released him and that we have it on record as the “big catch” of the day.
Dauphin Island is a great getaway. It is noticeably quiet with plentiful beaches. It is not overly commercialized so there are not scads of people everywhere. Even in the summer, it is not that crowded like other beach towns nearby. And of course, there is fishing! Watersports as well. One fact that I did not know is that migrating birds can be seen in the forest, dunes, and swamp of the Audubon Bird Sanctuary on the island.
We are finding our way around and enjoying the endless beaches here. It is much slower here, but I expected that from a beach town.
Peace and Love,
Sara & Wes
