Well it's not all fun and games on the loop. We spent a week at Turner Marine for an oil change and maintenance stuff. The boat is working well, and we want to keep it that way. While we were waiting, we explored Dog River by dinghy. Saw the rich and the poor side of living on and off the water. Interesting rides in the bayou.

After we left Alabama, we stopped at the famous Lulu's restaurant. Jimmy Buffet's sister owns it.
We crossed into Florida as we travelled the Panhandle up to Carrabelle. We are travelling so close to the Gulf without having to travel in it. So many beautiful beaches, wildlife and interesting sights. We were greeted by a pool of dolphins as we crossed into Florida's water.

We stopped in White City free dock. Pretty small town. There we saw ten homes, a park and a gas station. It was interesting, the time change was just across this river.
From Carrabelle, we will probably do the long crossing of 171 miles across the Gulf of Mexico. The other option is the Big Bend. It is four stops. The weather will probably be the deciding factor so we'll see. Now we have arrived in Carrabelle and the waiting begins for a weather window. It looks like Friday is promising. Meanwhile we will visit our surroundings. We started by eating at Fantom. An open air restaurant with live entertainment. We got a real taste of Florida there.
Here is our journey so far.
You can't cross the sea by merely standing and looking at the water.
