It looks like we will be at Carrabelle until we get a
weather window before cruising in the Gulf of Mexico. There are no barrier islands between here and
Tarpon Springs, about 175 miles, so we need calm seas for an enjoyable transit from
the panhandle of Florida to the west coast of Florida. Today the wind on the Gulf is blowing 18 mph
with gust of 25 and seas 4-5 feet. It
looks like Tuesday would be our first opportunity.
We have been catching up on a few things but haven’t
washed the salt from the boat yet. This picture
is looking out the windshield through the dried salt; the lower half of the
boat is covered with this stuff.
Gee sure wish I was scraping frost or shoveling snow…………..not!
We are starting to get used to the slips in the marina’s
in the south.
You better watch your step when walking the plank!
The best thing about Carrabelle we have found so far is
the fresh seafood and oysters!
We stopped at Fathoms oyster bar this afternoon and
watched a heated game of Jenga.
Yes, that is a fish hook in this guys ear…….man there
tough down here.

You guys be careful out across the open water! You're using my mom's retirement plan: strap a snow shovel to the car (or boat) and go until someone says "what the heck is that?" Have fun!
That sounds like a great idea! We only plan to travel on calm seas and it looks like a window is opening this week.
Wish you guys were here tonight to eat pizza, cake & ice cream :-) will post pics soon. Love you guys! See you soon!!!!
I have a vase of flowers from you thanks you. We are here at the house to eat pizza and ice cream and cake yummy.
