On our way to Carabelle Florida for a stop then onto Clearwater Florida after that. Carabelle had a cool shop and marina. We had a nice slip coming in there was a guy helping us tie up and then we trekked over to the dockmasters office to pay for our slip and find out some info for our trip the next day. The marina office had a cool place to sit and swing while looking out at the water where there was a low spot and the entertainment for the viewers was watching people ignore the markers and go aground there. It was an alright marina since we were toward the end of the docks due to low water. The showers were OK you could tell they needed a little TLC but clean enough after I cleaned the shower stall before showering. I give them a 6 on the 1-10 scale. The Fishermans Wife restaurant was really very good and a short walk to the marina. The owner sat down with us and called her husband who was a fisherman and helped us with the weather. The owner said it was doable but rough so of course doable is us. We showered in the wooden building with a second floor apartment that was being refurbished. The door had a busted lock so not a problem getting in. NO code needed lol. Walked back down the very used wooden stairs and to the boat. We met several people on the dock today that gave us their boat info so we could look them up. One of the couples were headed home that Andrea had contacted and we met, he had an incident with his hand and an anchor that was going to take a while to heal. I wish him the best and a quick recovery. SO signing off for now. Stay tuned.
