Friday, May 7,2010

After leaving Appalachicola at 8:00 A.M., we had a very comfortable day of cruising. The weather was perfect, not too hot and not too cold. We had long stretches of scenery that looked like humans had never been there before. Then there were stretches of huge homes and boat docks. All in all, it was a pleasant, enjoyable ride. We stopped for the day in Panama City at the Sun Harbor Marina. The people there were most helpful and kind. Sun Harbor has pump out, gas, diesel, laundry, showers, ship store, bar/restaurant, and clean docks. All for $1 a foot. What a deal.

Norm had an issue with his generator today. It overheated and when he took it apart, it turned out to be the impeller. So, he had a spare and fixed it along the way. It's always something.

Tomorrow we have another decision to make. That is whether to run in the Intracoastal, or to run in the open Gulf water. Either way, we are told it's a two day run from here to Mobile. We'll let you know what we decide to do tomorrow.
