Panama City, FL


November 23 & 24, 2011

Happy Thanksgiving!!

We were up at the crack of early on Wednesday to get going.  It rained pretty hard during the night, but was clear and warm that morning.

We had a bit of excitement on the ride.  A “Mayday” call appeared on our AIS.  It kept showing up, so Greg contacted the Coast Guard.  They already had a helicopter out, so they checked on the coordinates we had and the boat name.  They did let us know that it was a malfunction and no one was in any danger.

There were not many boats out Wednesday, so we made good time to Panama City Marina.  I pulled in at 2:00 PM.

On Thanksgiving Day they went to dinner with 30 others at the home of Greg & Carl Vernon.  They provided turkey, ham, and stuffing, along with some drinks.  The “Loopers” all brought sides.  Kate said it was a lot of fun, and delicious!!

They returned to the marina about 4 PM and everybody sat outside to watch a really beautiful sunset!
