As
I was walking Teak for her morning outing, I saw a golden retriever roaming
around loose and it looked like it had a harness or something on. If you know Teak, she likes to bark so I kept
my eyes on the dog and kept Teak away from the dog’s view. The winds were predicted to be 14 mph from
the north so I was not sure how our 45 minute trip across Pensacola Bay would
be. Better safe than sorry, so I tied
everything down. We headed out of the
Palafox marina about 8:00 AM with S/V Morning Star and Faith following behind
after they finished fueling up. As we
rounded the marina breakwater, I saw the same dog sitting at the end of the
breakwater walkway. This time I noticed
that the dog was wearing a lifejacket. I
called Barry on the phone and he was still at the fuel dock. I asked him to give the harbormaster the
information about the dog and he did. Seeing
this dog did not give me a warm and fuzzy feeling and I hope everything was ok. The trip across the bay was not bad with dolphins
escorting us the whole way. As we
entered the ICW, there were several boats anchored at the recommended beachside
anchorage and also along the beach shoreline of the ICW. I could just imagine what it’s like here during
the summer! The trip to The Wharf Marina
was short, we arrived around 11:45 AM. I
would recommend this marina to all cruisers.
This marina is cheaper than most, and they do not charge you an electricity
fee every day like LuLu’s did, the harbor master is very nice and you can walk
the shops and eat at several restaurants.
We all had lunch on our boats then walked around all the shops. Boy, did I luck out! A store named H2O was having a sale on
bathing suits, no matter what the original price, all suits were $40.00
each. They had the same bathing suits
that I saw at Macy’s and Dillards and I purchased three!!!!!! At 4:00 PM we all had docktails together on
the dock before turning in for an early morning departure to Biloxi.
