Day 82
We started our day with a beautiful sunrise over the
bayou.
About 8 a.m. we were treated to an air show. There is an air force base not far from our
anchorage so we had an awesome location to see them practice.
We passed “Saphira” in East Bay; we met them at Fort
Walton, Fl a couple of weeks ago, they are from Knoxville, TN
We did see a few dolphins before leaving East Bay and
entering a narrow section of the waterway.
As the waterway narrowed, we passed this ship building
company, it seemed to be an odd location and the channel is only 12 feet deep.
Most of this section is swampland on both sides of a
narrow canal; we did see a lot of wildlife from here to our anchorage.
We had planned to stop at Port St Joe but decided to
continue on and anchor in an ox bow off of Searcy Creek, part of the
Intracoastal Waterway. This anchorage is
surrounded by Cyprus swampland and is one of the most beautiful places we have
stayed, and believe it or not, no bugs.

Looks like on heck of a trip, Cap'n Rick. I'm envious. T-minus 10 days for me then I'll join the ranks of the retired but no such grand plans as you and Miss Moni. Calm seas and clear skies for your voyage, my friend!
Congratulations on your upcoming retirement! I'm sure you'll have a great time. Eat a piece of that retirement cake for me.
