We stayed at Skippio Eek marina last night, and left the air conditioner on all night. This morning we walked into Apalachicola again. Departed A-cola about noon.
We found the home of the one of a kind custom sailboat. It's the tender for yet another one of a kind custom sailboat. It's anchored in the river near A-cola, and from the looks of things, it's a live aboard.
A lot of this portion of the ICW is more like a river than a bay.
Actually, it is a river. It's the Jackson River.
We met a couple of traveling trailerable sailboats today. One West Wight Potter--the small size--with a single hander. And this Catalina 22 with a couple from Wisconsin. Looked like they were doing about the same trip as us.
We're anchored in Walker Bayou tonight.

Nice enough cove. Certainly isolated from everything.......................................except the no-see-ums. We had to close the boat up before dark. Still over 80 degrees, but the heat is the lesser problem of the two. (And screens don't even slow down those little buggers.)
We're planning on stopping tomorrow at Panama City, but at a different marina, so don't try to stalk us on that webcam again.

Tom and Pam... the correct pronunciation of the creek and the Marina by the same name is:
ReplyDeleteSip-e-o Creek... the silent "C" is in Scipio. So sipeo creek... like you sip your martini. :-)
