St Andrew's Marian to Baytowne Marina Sandestin

We left St Andrews at 8:30 this morning the wind was 5-10 from the South. There were only ripples on the water outside the marina. We contined across West Bay then for a long ride down a dredged cut through pine forests. Next we entered Chocktawhatchee Bay which was choppy as the wind now was blowing about 10-15 from the SE. We got to Baytowne Marina and were tied up at the dock at 2:30. Tortuga the boat of a friend from Baton Rouge is a couple of slips from ours. He is not here now though.
Dinner at the Acme oyster place here. We plan to leave here Thursday Morning
Miles today - 46

This dinner cruise boat was damaged somehow, all the doors windows and fixtures are gone. It has been at

the marina for sale for over a year now.
