After about ten Boaters showed up for a surprise Cinco De myio party on May 5th, we were finally ready to leave for Nashville, We were up and ready to leave by 7 am. Tom and Karen came down to see us off and also the dock master. It was a beautiful day and the bays were flat as a pancake. There were a lot of para sails out in beautiful colors. We did not see hardly any dolphins. When we got to Ft Walton at 4:00, there were two sailboats parked on the outside so we took the first slip on the west side and had 8' so were good. JoAnn and Elvie went to the store for some cards and newspaper.
About 5 our friends , Bill and Dot Jones(brother of Jack Jones) came to the boat for Mexican food. They live in Definake Springs and have been joining us on the boat when we pass through for about five years. Since there are some homeless people around in the park we don't leave the boat. The guys went to get Mexican food and brought it back to the boat. We had a lovely first evening of our journey. We cruised 70.1 miles today.
