From Destin to Panama City Florida

On Monday morning after replacing a neutral safety switch on one of our engines we headed for Panama city.

The route took us through some really outstanding scenery.  The dolphins were almost everywhere.
On Tuesday at Panama City the marina people insisted on driving us to the local Publix for some grocery shopping.  Afterward we explored the downtown area on foot.  Later Jayne did the laundry while I engaged in the important job of kibitzing with the local fisherman.




As we left our dock the jellyfish were too numerous to count
  The lakes we traversed today were hugh but the outstanding scenery was in the narrow channel between them.


no snow, just sand and rock



                                           


 
Having breakfast on the water (wearing our Lady Jayne shirts!)



On Wednesday we bought an unlimited bus pass allowing us to tour the entire area; this took place after the local harbour hosts insisted on dropping us at a quaint restaurant for breakfast on the water.
In the early evening we enjoyed talking with loopers from Bradenton, Bill and Phillis whom we had met earlier in our travels   Tomorrow we will stay another night  here  to attend a  concert by the great marine band from Washington DC. 
Then it's off to Apalachicola, Florida.
