Ft Walton

Wednesday 4-29-09
Before leaving St Andrews, we walked into a park where they have the worlds only four-headed palm tree.
Long travel day for us--almost 70 miles.
Along the way, Pam saw a magnolia tree growing wild on the side of the ditch. Her granny had always had a magnolia tree and the fragrance reminds Pam of her. (I'm not sure Andrew's granny has such a sweet fragrance) I'm sure we now have less bottom paint, but Pam has her magnolias.
We think these folks have a weekend home in Naples
We got into Ft Walton about 4 pm. Our new pals on the 53' Hatteras from Georgia and the 32' Island Gypsy from Maine had already arrived. Later, some new pals arrived on a 40' Marine Trader from Tennessee. The Hatteras people and the Island Gypsy people have both completed the loop. The Marine Trader is on the way. We all sat on the Hatteras for cocktails (yes, it's still tea for me) and then walked into town for dinner. Very interesting listening to their stories of traveling on the loop.
That's our boat under the dinghy.
Here's something that's not likely to happen..................
