We are bogged down by the weather.  Rain, rain and more rain in the forecast.  So we have hunkered down and will make the best of it.  This is  sweet little town with lots of little shops and art galleries.  I could stay here a long time.  Except for those cats roaming around the docks, taunting our dog.  I always know when they are near because her ears perk up.
Have been having fun watching the shrimp boats come and go.  They are lit up like a Christmas tree when they return at night.  Initially they scared me cause they seemed to come out of no where out of the dark and then zoom right by us.
It has been very warm here but then it sounds like it has been very warm everywhere.
We are still hoping to get to Carrabelle on Friday and wait for our crossing window.  There are friends down there and friends here that will go with us.  We have been playing cards with our Canadian friends and learning about their funny plastic money.
So we continue to wait to do the 20 hour crossing of the gulf.  Will wait for good weather rather than risk a dangerous uncomfortable ride in high seas.
More to come.

    Happy Solstice to both of you from snow free and rather warm Michigan. 😎
