Pirates Cove Marina to Apalachicola

A 60 plus mile day against the tide most of the day, beautiful travel day with highs in the mid to upper 80's very unusual for this time of year. We came back inland from the Gulf to St. Andrews Bay and then to the Wetappo River, through a canal to Lake Wimico and finally to the Apalachicola River. Not much boat traffic today, lots of pretty scenery, a surprise shipbuilding company tucked way up the bay 20 miles from Panama City in the country, a good location I think. Tonight the low is expected to be in the mid 70's with due points a few degrees below the low temperature, very unusual for this time of year. Tonight we went to the Owl Cafe, Doug and Carol had the Black Grouper and it was very good a bit sweeter than regular grouper they thought.
