Saturday, May 8,2010

We left Sun Harbor Marina in Panama City at 8:00 A.M. The people at this marina were extremely nice. We enjoyed our short time here and would go back again when we pass through the area. It was really windy and overcast. The water was pretty choppy and we thought for sure it would rain. We thought wrong. We passed a tow named "Miss Nicole" that was loaded with booms, we suspect for working on the oil spill clean up. The Chocktawhatchee Bay was cluttered with sailboats and even some wind surfers. It was so windy, we are grateful that we opted to run inside instead of in the Gulf.

Across from Fort Walton Beach, we spotted a small houseboat named "Savannah Girl". This made us think of Denny Shelton because his boat is a larger houseboat named "EHS Savannah". If boats had babies, the smaller boat could have been "EHS Savannah's" baby boat. Why does my mind think this way?

We quit for the day at 5:45 P.M. by anchoring at Navarre Park (just like on the way south). We blew around all night, but the anchor held us strong. We were all tired after the long day.
