We’re spending a few days in Ocean Springs to get ahead on a couple boat projects, wait out some weather blowing through, and to take a roadtrip back to Texas to spend Thanksgiving with our family. While here, we’ve had the chance to explore the town and absolutely love its character and charm in the quaint small town atmosphere, white sandy beaches and genuinely gracious and kind neighbors.
In between traversing about town, we’ve:
- Replaced a few port (window) screens and seals
- Polished all the crazed ports (scuffed and oxidized windows that needed some love to become clear again)
- Started revarnishing the coaming tops
- Got a personal visit from our diesel mechanic, who happened to be passing through town, to inspect the engine and put our minds at ease (completely a God thing!)
- Did a little maintenance on the head plumbing (completely a Matt thing!)
- Took advantage of our beautiful surroundings to get in some evening jogs and walks
- Spent some time with a fascinating group of a few gentlemen who gather each evening on the harbor docks to talk about all things boating. They have a wealth of knowledge to share and we appreciated them making us feel at home in their group and for keeping an eye on Kaleo while we’re away.
- Been the recipients of a ton of blessings by people willing to go out of their way to help and encourage us along our journey.

It’s neat to see a town just down the road from us from somebody else’s eyes. We’ve taken the area for granted, and thanks to you we can’t wait to visit it in our sailboat next Spring. Have a wonderful and blessed Thanksgiving!
