Moved from Apalachicola to Carrabelle today to stage for the long Gulf crossing to Dunedin. Apalachicola Bay was a little fierce at first and we yawed and rolled until our first course change. Then it was pounding through the waves and chop for a while, spraying the whole boat with salt water several times. Winds were pushing 20 knots. Things finally calmed down a bit after about two hours and we made better time. There were several dolphins along the way and several small shark like creatures feeding outside St. George Island. Moorings Marina came into view at about 2 pm and we filled up boat with fuel and got a slip for our stay. Getting into the slip was difficult at best and the marina staff offered no help in tying up. We finally got it in with no damage done. Looks like we will be here for quite a while waiting for a weather window for the crossing.
