Day 74 Thanksgiving Destin FL
Just another sunset. You might get sick of seeing them.
Down the boardwalk

This is the channel you have to navigate to come into the marina. Look how close your boat is to the beach.
We departed Ft Walton Beach free city dock on Wed morning after a walk to town for breakfast, a grocery store, a mail box and Tom found a barber shop. Mid morning we moved five miles easterly on the ICW to Destin FL, Harborwalk Marina. This is a very large first class Marina/Resort with many boardwalk restaurants and shops. The Resort Hotel, Emerald Grande, is the center focus of grandeur. We will likely have thanksgiving dinner at one of the two rooms serving dinner at the hotel.
Our boat is backed in where we can look at the Gulf and Choctawhatcee (easy for you to say) Bay off the bow and off the back the activity on the boardwalk.
This is a very large fishing and charter fishing area. It has been entertaining observing the 50’ - 70’ fishing vessels enter and depart the harbor. Yesterday we spent the day roaming the boardwalk, shops and resort hotel. Last night there was live music at the outdoor stage. After music we dined at Harry T’s a boardwalk cafĂ©. All in all great entertaining day
Tom washed the boat at the end of the day. Removing salt spray is now a daily maintenance chore that must be addressed. We both woke up this morning to beautiful blue skies and realized how happy we are to have each other and how thankful we are to live in freedom and pursue dreams of choice.
We truly are very thankful everyday for wonderful family and friends. We miss all of you more than words can express. We both wish we could share this holiday with you.
