The Delivery-Orange Beach to Destin

Woke up about 9 am, helped the previous owner gather his gear. Here is where we say goodbye and thanks. After a systems check dropped the lines and headed over to the fuel dock to take on some diesel. Cheaper here then in Florida. Left the Wharf at 10 am and headed toward Destin, FL. Passed several tows on the way. wind will not let up today either. As i approached Perdido Key, Fl the water changed from brown to blue. A small dolphin picked up my wake and stayed with me for about 20 minutes playing in the wake. Entered Pensacola Bay and I am able to use the autopilot.

Heading to Fort Walton Beach the GICW is very wide here and it allows me to use the autopilot. Have to take advantage since as I get closer will pass through an area know as the narrows and will be all manual steering.

Spoke with Vickie and she is going to meet be in Destin. we will be leaving the boat here for a few days until we make the final leg to Panama City, FL. She found a slip in Destin Harbor where she has always wanted to stay so tonight we will be there.

Entered Choctawhatchee Bay about 4 pm and headed for the harbor. Engines off about 6 pm.
