Sunrise/Sunset 30◦07'.177N 085◦35'.809W Happy Anniversary Marie-Anne and Dan

Well we have had a long but wonderful sailing day. The sun was shining, the birds where swimming and the engines purred like kittens. We received word that there may be a crossing on Friday, so we ran 80 miles today. We need to do 90 miles tomorrow to make it to Carrabelle in time for Friday's potential crossing.

I did get a picture of one of the islands separating the ICW from the Gulf of Mexico. Strange to think that this small bit of land prevents so much awful sailing. 

Obviously I  figured out how to use the video camera to take still pictures and more importantly; I figured out how to download these pictures from the camera to the computer. So tonight for your viewing pleasure I have a sunrise picture from Navarre Cove and a sunset picture from Pitts Bayou which is where we are this evening. The boat in the sunrise picture is "Pimaro" the sail boat we ran with for the last couple of days. Unfortunately we parted ways with Germain and Chantal today, as they needed to stop for parts in Fort Walton and we needed to get going a little faster to make our destination.  

Happy Anniversary Marie-Anne and Danny. Hope you all had as wonderful a day as we did  Nighty night all.
