BlueWater Bay Marina Mile 230 +5  to Quietwater Beach Santa Rosa Island mile 190
45 Miles today.

We left Blue Water Bay Marina at 7:30 this morning it was cool and overcast wind 10 miles out of the North East.  The Chocktawhatchee Bay had a light chop as we got to Ft. Walton where we entered the ICW and it was smooth.
We arrived at Quietwater Beach Santa Rosa Island at 1:20 we put out the anchor and spent the rest of the day on the boat dinner aboard. Santa Rosa is a popular tourist beach, we werent far from "The Strip". There are lots of restaurants and bars nearby tonight the music from one of the bars can be heard out at the boat it is not bad either.
The plan is to go to Pensacola's Palafox Marian tomorrow. Our friends Ray and Tena are driving over on Saturday and leaving Sunday so we will spend some time with them.
