Dog Island

The water in Apalachicola Bay and St George Sound is still extremely muddy. As some of you know, we pump that water into our toilet to flush it. I'm worried that all that brown water might stain the inside of the holding tank.

We anchored in shipping cove on the west end of Dog Island.

I saw some fish feeding near the boat, so I started casting in that direction. Caught some Spanish Mackerel, Bluefish, and of course the ubiquitous ladyfish.

Got the dinghy down and went out through the pass into the gulf. When we see a notation on the chart for a shipwreck, it's usually not much, however, this was the real thing.

There's a few houses on Dog Island. Can't see any roads or cars. They do have electricity in their dog houses.

We enjoyed a pleasant sunset, and as you can see the water was calm. After we went to bed, the wind picked up, and in combination with the tide going out, the waves hit us broadside, making for a sleepless night. We'll have to find a different place to anchor tonight.
