Destin harbour.

Cool pic in the gulf today.
We left Destin this morning, and headed on the outside over to Panama City. It was our fist time in unprotected waters. When we came over from New Orleans, we were in the Mississippi Sound, which is the gulf with barrier islands. No islands this time, so the motion was different. We had a really good sail. We sailed 55 miles in 11 hours. It was fantastic. We made it into St. Andrews bay just before dark. The tide was going out as we were coming in, so it slowed us down to about 2.5 miles per hour. We are anchored a little ways in right now.
Destin was a lot of fun, but expensive. It is beautiful, but set up more for tourists. We couldn't find anyplace to shower, and had to walk a long ways to get groceries. But on the beautiful scale, it was about a 10.
The water once we got out into the gulf was just gorgeous, a kind of turquoise. We only saw a couple of dolphins today. We are going to check out a marina tomorrow that is supposed to be nice AND affordable, we shall see. They say they have showers, laundry, new docks, and a grocery across the street. Sounds to good to be true.

Hmmm...Hot Rod likes it, so ya just had to find fault with it somehow. What a waste of time putting together a list of seafood restaurants for you when all you really want is a 10 cent can of Mahi Mahi and that southern hick classic crap music you listen to.
