Wednesday we pulled in for gas at Ft. Walton Beach around noon, not knowing where we would stay that night. David Enfinger has a friend who owns a marina in Destin, but we hadn't been able to get in touch with him, and Destin marinas are pricey. The facility in Ft. Walton had a few transient slips but it was under a bridge with no people or activity around. Not my idea of the ideal place to spend Thanksgiving. When the marina guy was trying to talk us into staying there, he told us there was a Waffle House across. Well, of course we had to go there to eat. It was lunch, but Danny still ordered his Fiesta Omelette.
As we headed out, we got in touch with David's friend who offered us a great deal, so we headed toward Destin and Choctawhatchee Bay. The wind had been blustery all day, and seemed to pick up as we approached the dock, and of course it was blowing from the wrong direction. In addition, the slips were very narrow with only poles, no decks between slips. We decided to anchor in the bay and wait for calmer weather to attemp the docking. There were lots of other boats anchored out, and we were entertained by sightseeing boats until sunset. Then we were treated to a beautiful sunset and a panoramic view of harbor lights!
