I will apologise for such a delay in posting. No internet and no wifi make it more than impossible to stay up to date. However we are back at it.

Wishing everyone a Happy New Year and hope that you remain healthy, wealthy and wise.

We are heading off the dock finally after a much desired break with family and friends. Making our way east along the Panhandle and then a crossing of the Gulf in the next few days. Weather is very unpredicable in these waters, in January but hoping for a weather window as we get closer to the staging.

Hurricane Michael came through these parts in 2018 and you can see the prgress as well as the destruction. Many marinas are still not open. Combine that with the shortage of material due to covid and construction is taking longer than usual. The trees are fallen, dredging is still in operation, as it usually is anyway, and shorter standign trees. There are more houses and boats that were destroyed too.

The anchorage is a safe and easy place to drop the hook. It is just prior to the canal heading to Panama City by the Bay Bridge on the east side where water is at least 12 feet. Lots of room to swing but open to westerlies and south westerlies. They are calling for easterlies to we will be tucked in nicely being on the east end of the bay.

A nice start for the journey to Carrabelle, FL.
