Panama
City Marina

We
moved further west today and made good time through a rural part of Florida. We
had a push from the tide and we changed time zones so our day was shorter than
we expected. Fuel prices are considerably lower here than anywhere else we've
been, so it made an ideal stop for the day. After fueling up and getting docked
we had time to get the boat cleaned up. After 13 days of travel it was covered
in salt. Stan cleaned the outside and I did the inside…we look much better now.
Panama City is another stop we made in 2011, but that time we had bikes, so getting
around was easier…I really wouldn’t want to travel for long without them. The
grocery store is about a mile away and we had almost decided not to go, until
one of the marina staff offered to give us a ride. The people in the panhandle
of Florida are wonderful. It was nice getting to the store since this may be the
last chance we have before we get home. The weather is great and we plan to
anchor a lot after night.
This
evening we spent time visiting with other cruisers on the dock. It's been
awhile since we've been docked by other transient boaters and it was fun
getting to know them. Of course everyone else is heading east..we've never been
ones to follow the crowd. One couple is from Houston heading to Florida for
the winter and the other is finishing the Loop. Both are planning to spend time
in the Keys this winter so we may see them again.
