It only took us 40 days to travel over 400 miles to arrive in Florida. Temperatures are still not idea, ( I know I should not complain with Fruitport at only 7 degrees and it's still snowing) but the future is looking sunny.
We decided to let it warm up and did not leave Gulf Shores until the thermometer was in the 40's. We had a short hop to Pensacola, all on the inside traveling the GICW ditch. It was odd having a freeway on one side watching cars speed past us, I imagine they were also wondering what we were doing. The wind was still brisk so I took frequent cabin breaks, but did pass up hot tea and sandwiches to Tom. I kept busy finishing up another knitted animal, this one a polar bear and by 3 PM we were at our anchor site off the Pensacola Navel air station, just west of the bay inlet to the Gulf. Tomorrow will be a long 80+ mile run to Panama City and another evaluation of the weather.
