Nice day today, although the clouds kept passing by and it was windy by times. Good day to be tied to a secure dock in a marina; we look at the weather forecast and plan to stay tied to this secure dock for a couple of days more. Looks like we won’t be moving until Thursday. There are 6 looper boats on our dock, and about 3 more on other docks, all of us waiting for our chance to cross the Gulf. The main topic of conversation is whether to cross from Apalachicola or from Carabelle. The consensus seems to be that the pass out to the Gulf from Apalachicola is apt to be shoaled in and so very shallow, while Carabelle is a longer route out to the Gulf but deeper. Right now everyone here seems to be planning on leaving from Carabelle.
Walked around town today, then out to the point by the marina. Went over to Richard and Jill’s boat, Finally, for cocktails with Nancy and Eddie, and Bobby and Keith from Kim Jo III. One of the best parts of the trip is getting together with other boaters at gatherings like we had tonight. Looks like rain and wind tomorrow, so we probably won’t be going too far.

As we travelled down the Gulf County Canal from the Intercoastal Waterwayto to St. Joseph Bay and Port St. Joe, we passed docks with fishing boats and a few which are no longer fishing.
