Carrabelle, Gary's favorite!

We arrived in Carrabelle with a friendly dolphin, who was enjoying running under our boat in the wake. Stayed at the famous, or infamous, C-Quarters Marina in time for the snapper tournment. Gary's Mom, Jane, and her husband, Vance drove down from Tallahassee to enjoy the great swing on the porch and a fish dinner before they left. We started having weather so could not go on to Tarpon Springs yet, but a great place to stay, until we can make the big bend passage.

Carrabelle has the smallest police station. Pictures of the police are inside.

Mom and Vance and I try out the best seat. There is always a breeze and shade.

Walking around Apalachicola

The first night after any hop is to eat out and enjoy where you are. We moved into the marina the first night and enjoyed the beautiful surroundings

All set up and ready to go out

Boss Oyster's famous crab cake!

Tamara's Cafe had live music, great food and Drinks!

The next days we used working on boat jobs and paperwork. I got to use the golf cart at the marina to do some shopping, The houses in the little town are incredible. I thought downtown was quaint with its little shops. On the way to groceries we got some shots of victorian mansions.

The weather was setting in so it was time to leave. Next stop C quarters in Carrabelle

Aplachicola, a great visit!

The intercoastal waterway is so beautiful. We left early in the morning to beat the heat. I really enjoyed our new additons of full screens and the remote for the autopilot. Gary was able to sit on the front of the boat and watch for crab pots and I was able to enjoy the scenery. We have a great view of coming out to Lake Wimico. Boat traffic was heavy, with holiday power boats throwing up 4-5 foot wakes. Really unsafe in the canals. But, a great captain watches for the fools so we were fine.
