Finally ... on the move again. We left Dog River Marina under beautiful skies at 8:30 a.m. and got to the shipping channel at 9:15 to turn to a heading of 180 degrees. The water was very smooth to start out but within an hour it started getting a
little chop that turned into a small 
craft warning with waves hitting us between 1 to 2 feet. When we turned into the inter-coastal waterway at marker 26, it was rough with waves hitting our starboard beam. We tied up at Lulu's (Jimmy Buffett's sisters restaurant) for lunch then traveled another 10 miles to our marina arriving at 5 p.m. in a very stiff 
wind.Ricki spent most of this part of our trip trying to catch a picture of the dolphins playing in our wake (thank God for digital camaras) without sucess and finally resorted to taking videos. It is too long to attach to the blog, but it is great. I told her they responded to a womans voice singing which turned out to be a mistake. She sang the rest of the way! Don't know what tomorrow will be like but strong winds are being forcasted but I hope we can get to Ft. Walton, FL.
Our position tonight is N 30 18.33 W 87 31.34
Good to see you two are on the move again! Hope the Bays you'll be crossing won't be too rough.
