We left Niceville around 7:40 am. Of course, we couldn’t get underway without
some issue. Today it was the
inverter. Two men had worked on the boat
for two days getting the inverter installed and working. We thought everything was okay, but learned
differently this morning. Oh well, it
just means we run with the generator until the Keys. Other than that, it was a great day on the
water. It was a little cool and cloudy
this morning but was sunny and a little warmer in the afternoon. We passed under the Bay Bridge (which leads
from Niceville to Destin) and soon after that we were in new waters. Pretty soon we were across Choctawhatchee Bay and into what
is known as the “Grand Canyon.” It was a
peaceful, beautiful run with a lot of trees and sand bluffs all along the way. Our favorite part of the day is lunch served on the
bridge. Food always tastes better on the
bridge! We never got tired of all the
dolphins we saw along the way. Several
times there were 2-3 of them jumping and splashing right next to the boat. We dropped the anchor around 2:15 at Panama
City (right on the flight path of Tindall Air Force Base). All in all, it was a great day
