Hanging Out in Port St. Joe

We are still lazing around Port St. Joe...a nice little town to be tucked away in for a few days. We have just about everything that we need. Good friends with us, groceries and restaurants nearby, easy dog walking options, and a nice quiet marina. We've eaten out, we've eaten in, we've shared docktails a couple of times with other Loopers, and Rob even got to watch some NFL football on Sunday afternoon thanks to InSpeyered 2 and their DTV/NFL package...good stuff.

And, we received a knock on our boat this morning from someone we had never met. She and her husband live locally, and they'd heard that there were some Loopers who were going to be around for Thanksgiving...and she graciously invited us all over to their house for Turkey dinner and fellowship. How awesome is that?! So we will likely be with 6 to 8 other couples, having a nice home cooked Thanksgiving dinner...we continue to confirm that folks in the boating community are exceedingly thoughtful and giving.

A few photos for your viewing pleasure:


InSpeyered 2 took us all over to Cape San Blas on Friday for the day...a beautiful anchorage just offshore from a spit of land separating the St Joseph Sound from the Gulf of Mexico. Al, Jane, Sandy and Nancy took a dingy ride for a walk on the beach...

It was really a beautiful spot, and we enjoyed a picnic lunch on board. Rob stayed behind for this shore trip, choosing to puppy sit, as the pups had come with us for this day trip. He and Al did make a return trip to the shore for some dog walking a bit later.




Kikie once again proves that a boat nap is still the best...it doesn't matter to her whose boat she's on!

View last night from our slip.
We met this gentleman tonight who was fishing for mullet as we walked over to the pier to view the sunset. He was kind enough to allow us to take his picture, and then we learned that he sells earrings that he crafts from fishing lures...what a great idea! His website is earringsalure.com.
We're not tiring of these views yet...
