Happy Mother's Day! It was an early morning for us compared to lately. We pushed away from Apalachicola's "free dock", where we moved to yesterday because Apalachicola Marina was supposed to have two larger boats coming to the dock we were on, at seven o'clock. Almost immediately we spotted an alligator and a bald eagle that was the first of five seen today. It took us just over eight hours to travel 57 miles and drop anchor in Pearl Bayou near Panama City. We forgot that we traveled into the Central Time Zone at White City so we arrived an hour earlier than we thought. Ray had to get the dinghy down to go retrieve the girls of "The Bar-B" on shore as they drove their vehicles to meet us. Tomorrow they will drive to Fairhope, Alabama to drop one vehicle off, then drive the other vehicle back to Fort Walton Beach to leave so they can travel by boat for a few days. After our rib dinner on the boat we took the dinghy exploring and fishing. The only thing landed was a lady fish. The other unknown one got away. Me and my fish stories.
