Saturday morning was spent doing laundry, catching up on email, trip planning, and studying the weather. As mentioned in previous posts, the weather is a big predictor of our schedule, and soon will be even more of a concern as we prepare for crossing The Gulf. What we discovered, was that no weather man or woman was in agreement. That made for a very frustrating morning. We decided to focus on the evening's plans and bought some fresh shrimp right off of the dock here at the marina. Tom & Linda on "Raydiance" hosted a shrimp boil on their boat. There were three other couples (including ourselves) - Andy & Julie on "Fruitcakes" and Mel & Jean on "Dovekie". Each of us brought a side or desert. This was our first shrimp boil and it was awesome. We had lots of laughs and good stories which helped to lighten our mood from earlier in the day.
Sunday morning was WalMart run and Angie's haircut. We then went to lunch with Andy & Julie on "Fruitcakes" and took a drive over to the Panama City Marina to visit with friends Rick & Rose on "Grand Finale". All this was done between howling winds and torrential downpours. At least the wind was out of the south, so it wasn't as cold as it had been. We ended our day having dinner with Tom & Linda on "Raydiance".
We were hoping to be able to walk around Panama City and historic St. Andrews, but the weather did not cooperate. At least we were able to drive around in our "weekend special" rental car from Enterprise (we should own stock in this company).
St. Andrews Marina was a very nice facility with very friendly and helpful staff.
