Port St. Joe, Florida
We moved on today to Port St. Joe, will wait here until it is time to go to Apalachicola and then take off to cross the Gulf. Port St. Joe is a nice protected marina, town is close with several shops, including a grocery store, within easy walking distance. Found some friends here, Jill and Richard in Finally and Tom and Linda in Q's End along with The Old Grouch are already here waiting the chance to do the crossing. Cool this morning, but sunny and a beautiful day to travel. Predictions are for poor weather for the next few days, so we are glad to be in a wel-protected port. Walked around town this evening, will go back tomorrow for some real shopping. Dinner with Eddie and Nancy tonight. We are back in the Eastern time zone, so have changed clocks and watches. With predictions for poor weather, looks like we will be here for a few days.

What is the destination city on the "other side" of the crossing? Why not just hug the coastline, rather than crossing?

Would love to go to either Tarpon Springs or Clearwater by hugging the shore, but it is too shallow. We could go into a few places on "the bend", but they are shallow and apparently difficult to get into, so we have elected to just make the crossing on the first nice day that we see. However, we are patient, and will definitly wait for a good weather opportunity.
