DAY 168, SUN DEC. 11, 2011
DEP APACHICOLA (mm351) 08:30 ARR. C-QUARTERS MARINA, CARRABELLE, FL (mm 380) 12:30
AM CLOUDY, COOL, WIND NNE 15 -20
D. 29 sm / 3149.21
As noted, another cloudy cool and windy day. Since we are in protected waters the wind doesn’t delay us any so we get under way with Adagio behind for the 30 mile trip to Carrabelle. We head south for 1 mile and enter Apalachicola Bay. The channel is narrow and continues south for about 5 miles, then makes a 90 degree turn to the east. In another 5 miles we enter St Georges Sound and continue east with St Georges Island to starboard protecting us from the wind and waves of the Gulf. It’s roughly 15 miles to East Pass, the channel between St. Georges I. and Dog I. This is where we will enter the Gulf for the crossing when the weather is good. For now, we turn north toward for another 5 miles to the entrance of the Carrabelle River and C-Quarters Marina, our port until we get a good weather window to cross the gulf. We do see a few dolphins as they come by to check us out, other than that there is no boat traffic as it is too windy for the oystermen to be out tonging.
