December 15th,
Monday
We got going by 8:15. It was chilly, but the sun was
shining. We said goodbye to the Panama
City Marina, and continued on our way.

There were two options for our night’s stay. The first was the White City Free Dock just
east of the White City Bridge. The
second was an anchorage called the Oxbow. One of the rules we came to live by
is that you take the first reasonable option available. Why?
Because you never know how good, or bad, the next option will be!
We took one look at the free dock, and decided that the
Oxbow had to be better. It was
another hour away, but we were making good time, and figured we could make it
before sunset.
It was the best decision!
The anchorage was gorgeous. And
it was empty. It took us awhile to set the anchor, as the depths varied from 4
feet to 30 feet! No sooner had we set
the anchor than we heard this huge roar.
While we didn’t see the alligator, we sure heard him!

Miles traveled were 53 taking us about 11.7 hours.
We slept well.
Very pretty picture of you, Kathy!
