Apalachicola, Fl.

We pulled into Apalachicola to these floating docks, a rarity at most coastal marinas. These were in front of a new hotel.

This fishing trawler was in the downtown Apalachicola area. Even in its dilapidated state, it has a lot of character.


We couldn't leave town without a basket of oysters and fries. These were literally right off the boat (about 20 yards away) from the morning catch.



Excitement Underway


As we motorsailed toward Carrabelle in the Apalachicola Bay, the dingy hanging off the stern of our boat broke loose from its davit mooring. While the Admiral negotiated the narrow deep water channel in the bay, I was able to go astern and release the other mooring from the davit so that we could pull the dinghy behind the boat the 20 miles to Carrabelle.
