This is our seventh day at C-Quarters Marina in Carrabelle, Florida. Weather will finally be great to cross the Gulf tomorrow, but I will bring you up to date with the past 7 days.
Saturday was the BIG PARADE EVENT in Carrabelle, this was one of the events commerating the 18th Annual Camp Johnston Days.
The Parade consisted of various military vehicles and veterans floats with most all eras represented.
 |
| And Joe and I watched them all |
After the BIG PARADE, we walked "Downtown" to see the sights, here is the "Worlds Smallest Police Department".
And here we discovered "Carrabelle Junction" a 1950's Malt Shop. This was not a new malt shop, but an actual old one.
 |
| Beth's Special Treat |
 |
| Reverend Jesse Jackson's Brand |
That pretty well wrapped up Saturday.
Sunday thru Wednesday was just a flurry of inactivity, we met another couple, Bob and Debby, who were also waiting a weather window to do the crossing. We enjoyed showing them our end of town (two blocks from their end) After we took them to Carrabelle Junction for ice cream, we discovered World Famous Harry's Bar.
The outside is much brighter than the inside.
 |
| A Toast to Good Weather |
Harry's also featured a pool table which we were unable to resist.
 |
| Dr. Bob, jut prior to Defeat |
Exiting Harry's back into daylight we arrived at Fathoms Steam Room and Raw Bar which was closed till????????? Here Debby performed musically for us.
 |
| On Stage, performing Live! |
During this period we needed to replace the hot water heater on the boat. This required many trips to the local hardware store. Joe found this unique tool.
 |
| Who can tell us what it is and used for? |
After replacing the hot water heater, we needed to fire up the Dinghy and make sure it was operational for the crossing, although I do not know how far it will take us on its 1/2 gallon fuel tank.
On Wednesday evening, Bob and Debby invited us to dine with them on their boat. It was a wonderful Italian dinner of Spagehtti, salad and bread. Since it ws a formal affair, we dressed up in our matching JULI-IV Hats.
That's it till we report back in on Saturday sometime announcing our "successful" crossing to the Tampa, St Petersburg Florida area.
