We had a wonderfully
short day and arrived at our anchorage by noon. There was no one here when we
arrived but there are now 9 boats in this area and another 18 boats or so in
nearby Carrabelle. We will all be leaving for the gulf crossing tomorrow. Some
people have been here for weeks waiting for a good time to cross
We chose to stay anchored at Dog island instead of going to
Carrabell because it puts us about 10 miles closer to the Gulf and the weather
calls for calm night tonight. When you are looking at the picture above; look closely in the middle from top to bottom and just slightly to the right is Perfect
Balance at anchorage in Apalachee Bay, the water on the other side of the
island is the Gulf of Mexico.
Since we are waiting for tomorrow afternoon to start our
crossing of the Gulf we will go explore the island a little more. We went for a
quick walkabout today, but we did not bring our dinghy in far enough. When we
went back to get on it; it was floating away about 50 feet from shore. Thank
god we met up with Roger and Mary from "Ta Ta" as Roger very gracefully
offered to go get it for us and save Jim the swim. After he rescued our dinghy, they invited us
over for docktails on their boat.
We left them just as the sun was setting over
Dog Island. Good Night all
