Pensacola to Fort Walton Beach

We had heard there are docks right in the middle of town at Fort Walton Beach and being municipal docks –they were free for one night. So, we left out of our wonderful anchorage at English Navy Cove around 8am and shot for Fort Walton Beach before the expected rain. It is cold and overcast but the water was as smooth as glass. We got to the municipal docks about 2-2:30 and they are really nice, downtown and from what we can tell home to Northwest Florida’s homeless. I guess you get what you pay for. A stroll through the district also lets us in on the fact that all restaurants with “Bistro” and “Grille” in their name are closed on Monday. This is 95% of the restaurants. It is still cold and overcast but we are little over half way to Panama City and we are making progress.
