Today’s blog may be a little early as the highlight of the
day may be yet to come – the Packers/Bears game is tonight. We have identified a location to watch the
game. Its called “World of Beer”. They have 500+ beers in their selection and
at least 10 TV sets. Too bad Dennis and
I won’t really do the beer selection justice – but maybe there will be some
Packer fans in the house.

For today’s cruising, we came across from Gulf Shores to
Pensacola. We turned into a couple of
scenic areas that were suggested for anchoring, but we were at low tide and
when the depth gauge registered 3 feet of water, we backed the boat out. So we ended up at this REALLY nice marina in
Pensacola. It’s called Palafox Pier and
seems first class.
The Gulf of Mexico has 7 foot waves today, and when we
passed the openings to the Gulf the boat was rocking and rolling. We have been wearing sweatshirts all day – I
guess it is November, even in Florida.
We will have a toast tonight because we have brought our boat all the
way from Racine to Florida. Wow. Seems like that was just an idea not so long
ago….. and here we are.
Thanks for all the nice comments on the magazine article
that came out this week. Julie Rossman
did a really nice job on it.

Once you get down to Sarasota and south of there, you'll find it a whole lot warmer. We're in Cape Coral and haven't seen daytime temperatures below 80* and nights a comfortable 60* plus. When we did the Loop, our goal was to 'get south' ;-)
