Tad & Toby,
Glad to hear the date you will put in. We will meet on the water at some point if we keep in touch. We launched Mis Dee on Thusday. Spent yesterday fixing some problems and putting up canvas.

With cold front coming in , we will probably depart Astor Landing about Wednsday. Our cell is : 406-283 -1051.

Dee took pictures of vultures and others. I'll see if I can post them.

Darrel & Dee Lawson

Hang In There Darrell!

Just think...once you are both in the water in that flat area, VHF should be in your favor too!! Ya'll hook up for sure. C-Brats seem to.

Enjoying following your post.

Darrel and Dee,

I received your posted reply dated Sat. @ 6:11 as well as the other (2) replies that you posted. We lost power for a short while yesterday morning during the height of the wind and when I tried to respond to your post yesterday, the system would not let me post a reply. It must have something to do with having AOL as our service provider as I have had problems before.
Glad you got your boat back in the water. I hope you have a good slip at the marina in Astor with some protection from the wind. Who says there is no winter in Florida? Fortunately, the weather should moderate by this weekend.
Toby and I went to Lake Harney on Saturday and secured a parking spot for our truck and trailer at the Jolly Gator Restaurant, while we are cruising on the river. Bonnie the owner is a nice lady and the food is good and the beer is cold
We have finalized our plans and will launch early on Wed. morning the 27th. We are going to backtrack about a mile south of Lake Harney and go up the Econlockhatchee River for a ways. It has always been one of our favorite rivers to explore and this will be the first time we have had the Comfy Dory on the St. John's. We will give a shout out sometime in the morning and see if we can locate you all.

Take care and stay warm...Tad

P.S. Byrdman...It looks like you all are really getting the winter now in Tenn.! You should hook up the trailer and come on down to Florida and cruise with us until that nasty white stuff passes.
