Another beautiful morning on the water. Roy El left first and we left about 1/2 hour later. Just after departure and before the Fort Walton bridge a shrimp boat almost ran into us. He must have had his boat on auto pilot because he was not up on the bridge but instead he was helping 2 other guys with their equipment. Keith had to speed up to avoid a collision. As soon as he saw us he was up on the bridge where he belonged. We traveled through Santa Rosa Sound, Pensacola Bay, Big Lagoon, and Perdido Key. All were calm except for Big Lagoon was a little choppy. We went a total of 68 miles today and anchored in Engram Bayou. We have been here before and it is a beautiful anchorage.
CO 's comments: Our anchor on this boat is working really good. Roy El, a 44 foot boat, tied up to our port and did not put his anchor out. We had winds in excess of 15 knots and it held us both just fine. The one problem that we had was the XO had a trouble getting the anchor up this morning because it was set so deep.
