Fingers Crossed

Tuesday, December 6 at 6:30 am, We were ready to go with our fingers crossed and lucklily our engines purred like well fed kittens! The main obstacle of the day was a 3 hour pesky dense fog. The picture is of when the fog finally burned off as we entered a narrow portion of the ICW that parallels Mexico Beach. That area still had visible damage from Hurricane Michael'19 with trees down and several ghost boats.

We ended our travels in Apalachicola, which was a place I am glad we visited! As part of Florida's Forgotten Coast, it is Old FL like none other! One of the oldest settlements, it is rich in history and having a real economic revival with fun shops and resturants. We docked the boat at the old Ice House which was an open venue now used for weddings and walked around the quaint town.

Upon rising Wednesday morning, we were sitting in quite the heavy fog bank. The thick mist was going no where... like a slow rain! So we enjoyed a few more sites of the lovely Apalachicola and waited. Finally around 11 AM, we were free to depart and headed to St. George's Bay. It was a wonderful day ,bright skies, smooth waters and lots of friendly dolphin visitors! Our day will continue thru the nite as we now sit and wait around Dog Island for some other loopers to join in our crossing! We expect to travel all nite long!!!
