We left Pensacola at 7am with cloudy skies, 50 degrees and 1 foot chop on the bay. We heard and saw some reminders of how tricky boating can be sometimes. The Coast Guard broadcast a “Pan Pan” this morning for the overdue 75’ fishing vessel, “Master John”, and a pleasure craft needed assistance further up the Intracoastal at St. Joe’s. The CG was diligent in responding to both situations and it is good to know that we have help out here when needed. We passed 2 sailboats that were aground but no owners on board so must have happened earlier.
The Verizon aircard had a signal for most of today and I was busy trying to find out more about how to cook a small turkey this week in the SeaWard Princess 3 burner /oven propane stove. It is a hot oven and I usually decrease the temps for most things but I have never cooked a turkey in it. We have the Owner’s Manual but it only covers installation, not how to cook in it. The internet had a lot of sites for ordering parts but nothing on actually cooking. Anybody have any suggestions???

After 7 hours and 57 miles, we decided to go to Bluewater Marina in Niceville. It had been recommended by some sail boaters that we met in Pensacola. It is one of the “nicest” marinas yet with such a great view. L J Schooner's Bar is located at the marina and is named after a famous sailing dog who frequented it. It is a small tiki bar with the best drinks and really interesting people. The main restaurant is adding an oyster bar which will probably be ready next year. There are walking and bike trails and there is a heated outdoor pool which is still open about 1/2 mile from the marina. Courtesy car also available.
