We have gone to many different places, and lots of them have had beaches. At the beaches before we got to Florida, sometimes we would have a walk, or a sunset stroll, maybe we would go wading since the tide went out, but we never would get to really swim. I think that is because of two things: it was too cold for swimming, and the swimsuits were just packed away in vacuum-sealed bags. Once we got to Florida we anchored a lot, at Destin, Panama City, Big Lagoon near Pensacola. But at all those places, we never really got to go swimming, until Port St. Joe and Eagle Harbor.

On Friday night, we checked the weather and noticed a small craft advisory had been issued until 1am covering our area. This seemed strange because the forecast only called for 10-15 knot winds and 1-3 foot seas. Nonetheless we kept our eye on it. This morning the advisory had been extended until 7am, but we realized it seemed more focused on the area to our west.
