Thursday - November 25, 2010

Today is US Thanksgiving and it is a beautiful day - sunny, warm and I am in shorts, tee-shirt and flip flops. We are staying here in Port St Joe for a few days to await better weather out on the Gulf. A cold front is coming in to stir up the Gulf and create 3 to 5 foot waves out there. This looks like it will stay this way to Monday at the earliest, which means we will probably leave for Appachicola on Saturday and then to Carrabelle to go through the East Pass on Monday or Tuesday.

We met some new friends on Felix traveling the Loop and together with the Q's End we had Thanksgiving Dinner on the local restaurant outside deck here at the Marina. The restaurant was closed for Thanksgiving and we just moved some tables together to seat the 6 of us. Felix cooked a turkey, with the trimmings which was previously smoked and was delicious. Q's End brought a great broccoli salad (which Brenda has to get the recipe for) and we brought dessert. It was a great evening and since we were not home for Canadian Thanksgiving was a great way to celebrate Thanksgiving.

After dinner we were joined for a little while by a couple of couples from other non-Looper boats. One of the fellows was born in Collingwood and actually lived in Galt in his early years.
