Carrabelle, Florida

We traveled 79.2 NM today under perfect weather conditions for a cruise!  We saw more sunken ships along this stretch than we have seen in all of 3,761 NM we've traveled thus far! We are now on Eastern Time Zone! Many Loopers here waiting on the weather window to cross (Island Office, Sadie Too, American Pie, Yachta Dreamin, Gemini). We are docked at The Moorings of Carrabelle marina.









We haven't seen a swing bridge in a while.


Apalachicola, Florida






Thank you Jennifer, aboard Yachta Dreamin, for these photos of us underway!


I love, Love, LOVE, local Shrimpers!!! Fresh shrimp off their boats for $4/lb makes this Cajun girl very, VERY happy!!!! Charlie is NOT complaining about all the shrimp I'm serving up!


Good job Charlie!



Pelican's and Dolphins welcomed us!


Carrabelle, Florida






At port.


Docktails with new Loopers and others we've met many miles back along the Loop. Great meeting Jennifer, and her beautiful family, who is another Facebook Live Aboard connection!!!

Panama City, Florida

A beautiful cruise today as we traveled 46.4 NM. Leaving port, the bay was a moderate chop. We traveled through Florida's "grand canyon", then dumped into West Bay which was a light chop. Easy breezy and beautiful ride.  We arrived at port and found other Loopers here, Always Home and Camelot!  So great to see them! Tonight we are having our previous neighbor from the Airfield we lived at, Nolan join us aboard. We were very excited to meet his lovely wife and daughter, Mallary and Abby!  We enjoyed dinner with them at Bayou Joe's. We are so grateful for their service to our country and are so proud of them and their beautiful family.  We are docked at Panama City Marina, Panama City, Florida.















Hello Pelican #38


Light chop on the bay!


So many dolphins but so difficult to photograph.



G-Man enjoyed his rib-eye bone while underway.



Thank you for the welcome package, Panama City Marina!



Fantastic seeing Nolan, Mallary, and Abby!!


Mallary and Abby are too cute!




We love Abby!!!
