Thanksgiving Week




















We have had a great Thanksgiving on the water. We spent three days at Harborwalk Marina and had access to the hotel, spa , etc. On Thanksgiving we were invited to a campsite nearby on the beach with some friends of the couple we are traveling with. It was a fantastic meal and a great campsite...super clean with secluded campsites. It was good to be with others to celebrate Thanksgiving. We miss our family and friends and Willi misses Riley and Bogie but we had an enjoyable day and thought of how blessed we have been and are so thankful for our families.

I have attached a few pics from Destin. Tonight we are at the city marina in Panama City traveling 63 miles today with sunny skies. Its a little cool down here but not as cool as Saltillo, Tn (29 degrees). I am really getting into planning and plotting and piloting the boat. We are approaching a big decision in the next day or two as to whether we will do the Big Bend or make an overnight run across the Gulf of Mexico(170 miles). We are leaning toward the overnighter to get on down further south and some warmer weather and for some aboard an opportunity to work on a tan.

Leaving at 7 in the morning heading further east to Apalachicola or Port St. Joe.....

Later.....be safe!

  1. Great pictures!!! Shopping and Spa's eh... Mom may survive the Great Loop after all. I bet you didn't figure that into your budget. I hope you got pictures of the wildlife. So if you go for overnight run of 170 miles will you just take turns sleeping and driving? I assume the campsites were better "equipped" than the one's we used out west. Mom just couldn't handle that.

    Keep your powder dry...
