Walked up the street this morning and found a hairdresser/barber who could take us this morning. Both of us got hair cuts; mine is very short but it will grow out. Went to Tom's famous hot dog place for lunch, they have hot dogs prepared with a large variety of toppings, very good. There seem to be line ups at lunch time there every day, and we certainly waited out turn to get our lunch. Then went to another shop for ice cream. Wayne tried deep fried ice cream; he's not sure he needs to repeat the experience.
The manager at the marina here had invited us to attend a private party he was giving to watch the Boat Parade of Lights. There were 19 entries; the boats decorated for Christmas then went from St.Andrews harbour past our marina. We were with the judges, so had a wonderful view of each of the boats. Many had gone to great lengths to decorate the boat, then played music and had people on board cheering, or singing, playing drums. The marina manager provided food and drinks; we had the opportunity to meet other boaters. It was fun. Panama City Marina has turned out to be a great place to stay,

Our plan is to move on to Port St. Joe tomorrow, then on to Appalachiacola to wait for a weather window to cross the Gulf. We have spoken with many others also waiting for the weather window, so hope we will be doing the 20 hour crossing with a large group.
