Thursday, November 19, 2009


We got underway at 6:00 A.M. this morning. The day was cool and sunny and we couldn't have asked for better seas. We left Fairhope and traveled about 90 miles to Santa Rosa Island which is only about 10 miles from Fort Walton Beach. It was so strange to be in the middle of a big body of water and only have a narrow channel that was deep enough to navigate. When we reached the Pensacola area, we had two dolphins that swam along with us for awhile. They swam right in front of the bow and swam exactly the same speed we were going. They were quite the entertainers. They rolled over for us and jumped in the air. I tried to get pictures, but I don't think I got a very good shot. Sue said they love the attention and as long as you watch and make over them, they'll stay. As soon as you stop paying attention to them, they leave.

We also saw the Pensacola Lighthouse. I did get a picture of that which I will post once we get somewhere with WI-FI. We are anchored out in front of a Park called Navarre Park. We did not travel with any other boats today, but it was a fun and uneventful day. That's the kind we like.
