After our overly exciting travel from Panama City to Destin on April 10, we slept soundly at anchor, even with the creaking anchor bridle in the somewhat gusty conditions. After breakfast, we took the dinghy to shore. Last time we were in Destin we had trouble finding a place to tie up the dinghy--all the docks (and the entire shoreline is filled with docks) have "no docking" signs. We previously ended up docking at a gas filling dock; the folks at the associated restaurant said it would be fine for us stay there for a couple of hours while we ran errands.

When we sailed to Florida through the I.C.W. (Intracoastal Waterway) there was a cold front coming, with high winds, so we hunkered down in a little harbor for a couple of days. We were just chilling at home( I mean boat😝) and did a couple loads of laundry. We could see some dolphins from the boat, and we saw some jellyfish too. Me and Marguerite went to a couple museums, Pensacola Museum of History and the Children’s Museum. We got take-out Thai food, but we really just spent the time at the boat and caught up with schoolwork.

When we were sailing to Gulfport we ran into some dolphins. It was very exciting; at one point the dolphins were so close you could almost touch them. Also we saw amazing jellyfish there were a lot of them.
