| Morning Eagle |
This morning we woke to a beautiful sunrise and an eagle sitting on a post about a hundred feet to our port. Oh my, this is a great way to wake up. We are still in Apalachicola awaiting a weather window to cross the gulf and this little port town just gets better and better. We are across the inlet from St. George Island and I know Mary and Andy used to come here a lot on vacation. Good call. I looked up how close Alligator Point we are where Vereen has a house – not far—we hope to go by there when we pull out. They have a little Marine Museum we went to and it mostly talks about how during the Civil War the North blockaded the rivers here and what was once a thriving sea port hit on hard times. Last night we went to “The Owl” for dinner and it was fabulous. Today all the restaurants that take reservations are booked but we found 13 Mile Seafood and will probably go there and get us some dinner to cook on the boat. They have something called Grouper Cheeks that the guy says is the best part of the fish. I am intrigued. We got a golf cart and went to the Piggly Wiggly to get a couple of things and ran into a fellow we met last night at Happy Hour with some fellow boaters. Terry says we have been here too long when we meet someone we know in the grocery. This weekend promises a couple of weather windows to cross to Clearwater. The Valentines (a couple with a 42 Jefferson that travels about the same speed) are heading here from Port St. Joe. We will meet up and plan our crossing together. It is wise to have a crossing buddy because we will be going about 200 miles in open water and it is good to have a traveling buddy. I am looking forward to meeting them.
