Apalachicola Update

Posted by: admin

Tagged in: Untagged 

Dan reports that he is in fog this morning, and that it is purely weather related.
 
Yesterday's adventure was more than just exploring the bottom and staying dry. Dan reports a close encounter with a beautiful two masted smallish boat busting moves near Apalachicola. It was too rough and wet for the camera, so its image escaped us. We hope to see it at the antique and classic boat show tommorrow.
 
I was reminded again of our community of smallcrafters when Dan pointed out that Rob, a Potter 19 sailor from here in the panhandle, had told him about accomodations in Apalachicola. Turns out, says Dan, that the Water Street Hotel and Marina, www.waterstreethotel.com at the mouth of Scipio Creek, is a topnotch place with as friendly and helpful a staff as he's found in his travels. Papa Joe's Oysters, just upstream, was great, too.
 
Old Geezer carries all manner of electrical adaptors for her portable power source, except the one that matches the plug at his dock. No matter, though, since the people at the hotel had him bring the device to the office to recharge. Elegant and accomodating, aren't they?
 
We'll link up with the Expedition soon, and by Sunday, we'll have a dispatch about the boat show. If you're in the area, come on down. Look for the guys in the ATUS NOG caps.

I am glad that Dan is enjoying the oysters and the Water Street Hotel! I am leaving this morning for Carrabelle and will be sailing to Apalach in five days on my way to Pirates Cove! We hope to catch Dan and Ol' Geezer along the way and share a dozen or three oysters and beverages!

Sounds as if E.F.1 is doing well. Pam's little red boat is a beauty. I really enjoy the blogs.
