Nancy & Ross Hiner, Tom & Diann at Port Inn for breakfast.
We awoke to a beautiful sunny 70 degree day in Port St Joe. This is one of the best marinas so far with restaurant, nice ship store (where we both bought shirts), mail delivery, Sunday paper delivered to the boat, clean laundry and showers. Walking distance to groceries, ice cream, liquor store, restaurants, and a hair salon. The Cut’N Up salon wasn’t to open until Thursday but the owner was there organizing and said she would do my hair. Color and a trim can make you feel soooo much better! We also found Blue Water Outfitters adjacent to the Piggly Wiggly grocery store and Tom bought a smaller pair of jeans and a shirt.
One of the great benefits of the AGLCA is the Looper "harbor host" program. The harbor host here is Patsy & Ray Whitney, who we have had the pleasure of meeting as far back as Pebble Isle Marina on the Kentucky Lake in September. Thank you Patsy and Ray for being the most gracious host providing advice,support and a wealth of knowledge that we will find forever beneficial. Port St Joe Marina is a first class operation and Ray & Patsy are a huge contribution to their success
We rode bicycles this morning with fellow loopers Ross and Nancy Hiner to The Port Inn for breakfast. You could have omelets to order as well as biscuits and gravy, and your typical breakfast buffet all for $5.00. We will be moving on to Apalachicola tomorrow and then on to Carrabelle to wait for the Gulf crossing weather window. It doesn’t look like good weather for several days. Thursday, December 3 is a full moon and I’m hoping that will be the day. Historically for December there are only 5 days out of the month for favorable crossing opportunities. I’m not looking forward to this 16-18 hour all night crossing but it will be another new adventure for us.
