Hurry-No Hurry

Ray had to pull the anchor up manually again this morning.  We left about 15 minutes later than usual this morning enjoying the sunrise before departing.  There was no hurry as we were only planning to go about 14 miles to Ft. Walton Beach's free city dock if it was available.  That was also the idea of us taking an extra day to get here so that we could arrive early in hopes that those already there should be departed.  It worked out perfectly as no one was here when we arrived two hours after take off.
Almost immediately we took advantage of the water spigot and did some cleaning inside and out.  Then Linda made her first to Publix.
Friends that "The Bar-B" met on "Lorelei" pulled in early afternoon right behind us.  There are several derelict sailboats and dinghies in the way or we would have pulled into a slip.  As it is now, we are waiting for "The Bar-B" to arrive and raft to us.
We will stay here for at least a couple days or until they kick us out since weather is not looking that good ahead for crossing the Gulf of Mexico any time soon.
