Lulu's Homeport to Palafox Marina Pensacola

March 28, 2018 Wednesday  Breezy, cool, 32 miles

We left Lulu's at 9 am as usual there was lots of pontoon, speed and fishing boat traffic along this stretch of the ICW. We had no problems and enjoyed the scenery. As we passed by Perdido Key and got closer to Pensacola the Blue Angels flight team were practicing they passed over the boat several times it was a great show, but loud. We have seen them several times from boat or land they always put on a great show and we always enjoy watching them. The wind had picked up a bit and Pensacola bay was choppy but we made it into Palafox Marina by 1:15. At the fuel dock we had the holding (sewage) tank vacuum pumped out. Then we moved over to our assigned slip.
      Palafox is a nice marina with a good restaurant next door and others nearby. We will be here   several days, on Friday we will rent a car. Easter Sunday we will drive to Rosemary Beach to spend a few days with Joshua, Sunshine, and the Grandkids.

The ICW cut at Ft McRee, the entrance to Pensacola Bay from the East blue water and white sand!

The Blue Angels put on a good show, this is one of their several passes over the boat
