As we prepare to leave this great marina we say goodbye to our newest friends who either live here or are passing through in the coming weeks. Everyone is a friend here. We can’t say enough about the hospitality of these great people.
Scott was having his coffee watching out the window. He darts out the boat, grabs a rope and runs off the dock. I have no idea what is going on. Turns out he watched a fellow boater fall off the bow of his boat trying to get off and the fellow was clinging to the lines hanging down. By the time Scott got to his boat he didn’t see him til he turned up at the back of the boat hanging onto his swim ladder. Water is a bit chilly in these parts at this time of the year. They had a good chuckle and became instant friends.
We push off after 2 nights here in Panama City and head to Apalachacola, FL where we will cross the time change bump and push ahead an hour. We’ve had cold temps up here, but still within normal for January. Temps run about 55+ during the day and drop to 40’s at night, sometimes into the 30’s. The heater has been great and working overtime during this trek in the north of Florida.
The winds are not favourable to stay on the hook so we will stay for a night at the local municipal marina. We meet Cheri Baby, Blue and Rebecca James here.
