Running with the Dolphins!

Today was a perfect day (but it could have been a tad warmer). We left out of the Wharf at around 11 am because the weather people promised cool but sunny skies after noon. These same forecasters indicate that we will have cold rain the rest of the week. We continued down the ICW and about noon the sun did start burning off the cloud cover. Then the darnest site—dolphins started swimming with the boat! You would have thought Santa Claus had just joined us on deck. No pictures –they are shy suckers—but it was very exciting. After about 30 miles, we passed the cut to the open seas and we can see how rough it is out in the open water. Then just past Pensacola we anchored in English Navy Cove. This is outside Santa Rosa Beach and said to be a good secure anchorage. This will be our first anchorage since we have been out of the Tombigbee and it is in sand—new territory. We had a fabulous sunset--first of many on the ICW. We are now one of those people—how many times have Fitz and I stood on a beach and looked out at boats passing and said we would someday be there. Here we are.
