11/14/2012 – Wednesday – Pensacola to Destin

S/V Morning Star headed out of the Palafox marina around 5:30 AM to start their offshore trip to Destin and we headed out around 6:00 AM to the ICW to Destin.  We will be anchoring out because we could not find any marinas that took transients and provided power.  The morning started off cold and cloudy and when you’re on the water you feel the cold even more.  On top of the cold, the autopilot went out so we had to hand steer the whole way.  Josh was not a happy camper!  We had some dolphins escort us for a while, but it was too cold for me to watch them from the bow.  By the time we started entering the Destin channel, the sun started breaking through and it got nice and cozy inside our enclosure.  We were anchored a little after noon.  Pensacola to Destin in the ICW is not very picturesque, it’s rather boring but the anchorage is nice!  Josh cooked steaks on the grill and I made potatoes and asparagus for lunch.  Around 2:00 PM S/V Morning Star arrived and anchored down from us.  Josh decided to take a short nap (5:00 AM wake up does not agree with him!), I read my book and then Josh started working on the autopilot.  Thank goodness, it’s only a loose wire!  It will be an early evening for us because tomorrow will be a long run to Panama City.  Around 10:45 PM Teak decided to wake me up by standing on me.  I knew what she wanted!  I put on my robe, scooped her up and headed to the bow of the boat.  She would not go!  Back in and to bed we went.  Around 11:20 PM she stood on Josh and then me whimpering.  Again I put on my robe she jumped into my arms and to the bow we went.  She went right over and squatted!  Back inside I put Teak down to check the GPS for anchor dragging before going back to bed.  Teak refused to go night night until she received a treat.  Treat demolished and back to bed for the night!
