Marina office

Still in Port St. Joe. Looked at the NOAA weather report and it looks bad. Another front coming in on Wednesday which on a forecast basis will whip up the Gulf to 7 to 10 foot seas. Brenda is ready to go out there (ha ha). So we may be here for a few more days. Not a bad place to stay though. Nice marina and a nice little town. We went for a walk along the the park which goes along the water and then back through town. Lots of little stores within walking distance of the Marina, although it is easy to see the effects of the recession since a number of stores are closed, and real estate shops are showing no activity for new home developments.

Looking out over the Gulf


We found a boating fishing store and wonder of wonder I found a Navionics Platinum Gulf of Mexico chip for my chart plotter. The chip I had provided good information but it was not as detailed as I would have liked for our trip down the Gulf shore to the Keys.

Spent the rest of the day reading and watching football particularly the Auburn/Alabama game. Amazing comeback for Auburn after the first half. We then went to dinner at a Pizza joint - Joe Mama's which produced some very tasty pizza.
