Harborwalk Marina, Destin, Florida

A boat we passed along the way; seems to have a few issues.

Pelicans looking for their handout; seagulls overhead are out of luck

Left Pensacola in sunshine this morning, then the  clouds came over.  Ran in and out of rain for a good part of our trip, then it cleared just before we reached Destin. Came by sandy beaches, beautiful houses and condos, although some of the condo complexes looked like they were not being used. Many have boat slips with them,  and many were empty.  Along the way, dolphins were playing beside the boat, always a pleasure to watch. A new experience docking here, there are no side docks, just posts, so we backed in, which is not a problem, but the challenge lies in getting tied off to the posts.  Once we docked, a man down the dock was cleaning fish; he had a whole flock of pelicans in the water behind the boats waiting for their treats. Here in Destin, met a gold looper, Dave Dixon from Family Time, a friend of Nancy and Eddie’s,  who took us to an Italian restaurant for dinner. Destin seems to be a nice town, lots of restaurants, shops. We plan to stay another day here; will rent a car to shop and sightsee tomorrow.
