Finally, on Saturday, the sun reappears. Unfortunately, it is still windy, the water slaps our hull loudly, and our boat rocks nonstop. Friday and Saturday night are again horrible conditions for sleep. On Saturday, we take advantage of the laundry facility, watch football (Yeah Bucks and Boo IU ), and go on a dinghy tour of the marina.

| Buster and Bailey go on the tour with us. |

| Big Yachts! Emiril Lagasse has a yacht here too...but no invitation for dinner unfortunately! |
 |
So tempting to the dogs.

On our last night at Baytowne, we went into the village, which is an area within the resort boasting a multitude of shops and restaurants. We enjoyed dinner at Hammerheads and then checked out Rum Runners and their dueling piano bar.
 |
| With The Beatles and Billy Joel dominating the play list, we wish our friends Cici and Tom were here with us! |
Today we leave Sandestin and Baytowne Marina and navigate back into the Choctawhatchee Bay.
 |
| Rare moment in which the admiral is at the helm. |
There is quite a chop today, but the dogs handle it okay with a little help from Dramamine. From the Choctawhatchee Bay, we enter a narrow segment of the Inter Coastal Waterway, flanked on both sides by sand dunes.

This narrow waterway section of the ICW leads to West Bay, another large body of water which is not as choppy as the Choctawhatchee Bay. Approximately 58 miles later, we arrive at Panama City Marina, in historic downtown Panama City. This marina seems well protected from the choppy waters of the bay and we hope we can finally get a good nights sleep.

| Another day has passed. Sunset now at 5:00. |
