On our way again

Friday and Saturday, May 3 and 4 : We rented a car with Roy and Elvie and brought our cars up to Pebble Isle and left them there and drove back to Panama City.

Sunday, May 5: We celebrated Roy and Elvie’s 50th wedding anniversary with them along with Greg and Carl and Elvie’s friend Pam (Pam flew in this morning so she can help Elvie on the trip up to Pebble Isle).

Monday, May 6:  It was a beautiful morning with lots of sun shine.  When we left the marina we had 2 feet of water under our props.   We went through West Bay with just a light chop and then had a good 25 miles of canal to go through.  We then entered Chocatawatchee Bay and went another 25 miles.  The Bay had very high winds and waves from 1 to 2 feet.  We set way points and used our auto pilot and it worked well.  We got to our anchorage a good 1.5 hours before RoyEl.  The wind and waves were higher when they came through but we all made it safe and sound.  Elvie is cooking dinner for tonight.

CO's comments:  The delivery captain I talked about in the last blog; he ended up getting his 16' outboard sideways in an 18' slip and bumping his neighbors boat.  I sure wouldn't hire him.
