We had several looper's stopping at the Palafox Marina this week. There were some large boats (much bigger than ours) traveling on their own and several smaller boats (our size and smaller) stopping as a group. This marina has lots of turnover, it's a great stopping place with much to do.
Al and Kay decided to rent a cheap weekend car to check out some marinas around the Fort Walton Beach and Destin area. They plan to stick around this area untill next year before doing the crossing to the west coast of Florida.

We have never seen a boat our size in a dry stack!
This is good! Check out the hatches!
Had to take a picture of this for our friend Ernie!
Sunday around 1:00 PM, we all hopped on Last Trade to give her a test run to make sure everything was working. The Blue Angels show was going on so we got a little better view being out on the water than at the marina.
It looks like the boat is fixed. Yay!!!!! It was purring like a kitten. We are ready to cruise! Tomorrow we are planning to go anchor out at Ft. McRee Cove. The wind is predicted to be low and the temperature still warm during the day. We even may stay an extra day before moving on.
This is Henry! He is the marina watch Heron. Teak and Henry get along, always eyeing each other. Sometimes Henry would walk down our finger pier to try to peek into the boat to check out Teak.
After our boat ride we decided to take our bikes to the Annual Gulf Coast Art Festival that was going on this weekend. This festival was so large it was overwhelming! Downtown Pensacola always has something going on. If it's not a pub run, it's a festival!
After strolling through the festival, we headed to Joe Patti's for steamed shrimp, fresh salmon to grill and some of Joe Patti's clam chowder for the last time before heading out tomorrow to anchor at Ft. McRee Cove.
