Pensacola Lighthouse
Can you see the dolphins?




Welcome to Florida




We left our anchorage at 5:45 A.M. in clear, cool weather. Our goal was to make it to Panama City. Tomorrow the weather is supposed to be bad, so we wanted to get to a harbor where there would be things to do while we wait out the weather. The pelicans are so funny. They fly down to the water and plop in so ungracefully. You'd never be able to call it diving. Today we had dolphins run with us again. I don't think I'll ever get tired of seeing them. I tried to get pictures again of them jumping, but by the time the camera clicks, they're back in the water. All I have is pictures of water. That stinks.

We arrived at Bay Point Marina in Panama City at 3:00 P.M. We caught up with Bob & Liz on "Second Wind" at the marina. Bay Point gave AGLCA members a 25% discount on moorage and a $ .25 discount on fuel. We had dinner in their restaurant called 30 degrees Blue. Mine was the best salad I've ever eaten (or else I was so hungry i didn't know the difference). There are some of Norm & Sue's friends wintering here at Bay Point. We had a nice visit with them. All in all, it was a wonderful day.

Once you get moving, your really rack up the miles. It sounds like you have had some nice relaxing time with Norm and Sue the past couple of days. Enjoy the weather! While we have had nice warm temps the past few weeks, I heard yesterday that there is a possiblity of snow flurries next weekend. Yuk!
