| The view off our starboard while docked at Ft. Walton |
That’s right; we
departed Pensacola this morning about 8:30 and continued our voyage of the
Florida Panhandle. The weather was
beautiful, a little windy but since we were in the ICW the protected waters
were flat and uneventful…YAY!!
A brief 6 hours
later we were docked in Fort Walton FL!
We stayed here in the fall of 2016 with several other looper friends and
filled the place! Today…just The Lower
Place and a sailboat – a very helpful fella VERY willing to catch our lines
during our windy docking!! Maybe self
defense since we were “parallel parking” in front of him? He was very complimentary of our “calm, quiet
docking skills” and of course I gave all the credit to our EarTech headsets
because let’s face it…every docking attempt is an adventure!! Ha HA!!

| The empty city dock - where are the people? |
Since we stopped
early – did I mention this was a FREE dock? – and I’m feeling better with
improved range of motion in my neck I used the time to reorganize my
clothes. Winter stuff FINALLY stored and
summer stuff pulled out of hiding….yep, we’re in FLORIDA!!!
We had an early
dinner – oven baked MS raised catfish and pasta salad – and I realized later…I haven’t
been off the boat! Oh well, it’s dark
now & the demographic seems to change in this area if memory serves me
correctly. It’s been a good day all
around.
Tomorrow we will
attempt to reach Panama City (87 miles) and I’m hoping we can get into the same
anchorage we used in Nov., 2016 – behind a draw bridge and very dinghy friendly!! We had good times there with Southern Cross
and Rascal’s Retreat…ahhh, the memories!
May your weekend be
filled with rest, relaxation and completed to-do lists…hug someone special.
God Bless
