Dolphin Mania!

Today we went from Bay Point Marina in Panama City to St. Joe's. Great ride. First there were the very interesting fighter planes from St. Andrews Air Force Base, then the DOLPHINS! There were following the boat, jumping in the air - having a great time.
I tried to take pictures but they are so fast for a digital camera but here are my tries. You might be able to zoom in and see more. There is also a picture of a barge dredging on ICW.

Panama City & Visitors

On our way to Panama City we went thru Florida's version of the Grand Canyon - beautiful sand bluffs. Then safely onto Panama City First night stayed at Panama City Municipal Docks. It was conveniently located within walking distance to old Panama City. We walked to dinner at Feruci's - delicious. Stayed there 2 days and then moved to the other side of the bay to Bay Point Marine with a Marriott and golf. Ron & Ei came down on Friday 2/15/08. We have had a good time and have gone out in boat looking for dolphins. Last night we anchored out and cooked hamburgers. The pictures show first how the water is so beautiful - colors of turquoise and blues. Then a LARGE ship that went in front of us. If you zoom in you can see a small cruiser to get the idea of how big .
Hope all is well with all of you. We will be staying her until Wednesday then on to St. Joe's I believe.

Welcome To Florida

Arrived in Florida! Great weather - last night anchored out at Little Sabine Bay - good anchorage. Then on to Destin area. We are at Blue Water Marina. Saw our first lighthouse. Also, the plane picture was right by us - not my "cup of tea". Have seen lots of dolphins but can't get a picture yet. Too quick!

Margaritaville & Jimmy Buffett

So here we are! At LuLu's - the sister of Jimmy Buffett. Actually it is in Gulf Shores, not Margaritaville but certainly a very popular place. We had a great ride today across Mobile Bay with light chop in parts and smooth in others. Arrived here for the night and tomorrow on again! Having a great time and really enjoying your comments.

Another tornado

In Columbus, Ms. when we were there a tornado landed 15 miles from us. This am we wake to the sound of a tornado warning whistle. I always wonder where on a boat I should go so I decided the best thing was to stay in bed! Anyhow we are still here in Dog River Marina and all in one piece. Here is a picture of Out & About with it's new antenas on. We can now radio to Mars and they will respond! This other picture is of Dog River Marina. We hope to be leaving for Gulfshores tomorrow and LuLu's who is the sister of Jimmy Buffett - weather and boat permitting.
