Panama City Marina, mile 290 to Bluewater Bay Marina, Valparaiso, FL, Mile 235 + 5 miles
60 miles today.
We got up early this morning to get ready to leave the marina, we left our spot on the dock and moved over to the pumpout station the pumpout went off without any problems and we left the marina at 7:15. it was breezy 10-15 out of the east but it didn't cause any problems in the Bays or the ICW The tide was moving in our favor, giving us about an extra MPH most of the way.
We crssed the bays west of Panama City, then the ICW canal and last into Choctawhatchee Bay and Rocky bayou to Bluewater Bay Marina this is a small Family run place it has a good restaurant, which unfortunately was closed today. They also have a "courtesy car" which they loan to boaters staying there. We borrowed the car to go to a restaurant for dinner and to pick up a few things we needed in town. We plan a short trip tomorrow so don't need to leave early.
This is a test boat for Mercury Outboard motors, they run up and down the bay in Panama City all day. Not a bad job, if you enjoy fast boating

Cormorants on a marker in the bay, the guy on the bottom didn't choose his spot,
right under the others, very well it might get messy down there.
On the ICW canal after transiting West Bay.
We have a new US flag, the old one was getting frayed.
