Ft. Walton Beach

On Monday we left Pearl Bayou shortly after seven o'clock once we got the dinghy back on the swim platform from Ray taking the girls to shore.  They are driving both vehicles to Fairhope, Alabama where they will leave one car, then both ride in one car back to meet us in Ft. Walton Beach where they will leave that vehicle so they can travel by boat for a few days.  We traveled 74 miles to Ft. Walton Beach Yacht Basin where it is a $60 flat rate per night no matter what the length of your vessel is.  We told "The Bar-B" we should add the lengths of our boats together and divide that by $120 to see how much that would be per foot and they would owe us the difference.  We were unable to stay at the free city dock because it is being repaired from the storm damage of last fall.
We spent two nights here to get laundry done.  On Tuesday we walked to town to do a little window shopping, then all six of us piled in Clifford's convertible to have dinner at McGuire's Irish restaurant.  It was the best meal we have had in the area.
