Prudent: Yes, Yes, YES

If you remember my previous post I was disappointed that we did not cross and was questioning the decision.

Port St. Joe, FL
(Monday Nov. 5 – Dist: 44.0 mi; Temp: 78 F; TTT: 6:05 hrs)
When leaving Watson’s Bayou the next morning we re-entered the Port area again for awhile but do not encounter any commercial traffic. There were a few interesting sights and some good travelling weather once again.

Most of the travel day was spent going down a narrow, then really narrow canal. When we turned off the GICW onto the 5 mile canal to St. Joseph Bay and the Gulf of Mexico we ran into some commercial boats and yards. Not sure what this old ferry?? did or where but it has seen better days.
Near the Bay there was a fish packing plant and a number of fishing boats to see.
We soon arrived at the Port St. Joe Marina and settled in for a few days. I will probably add some more photos or another update about our time here but for now I have determined that my 8 year old batteries need replacing and I am taking care of a few other things as well.
More later while we wait for the Gulf to settle down and give us a good window for the 180 mile crossing.
