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.

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.
