More Waves and Bouncy Rides

---

This morning was drizzly and gray, the wind was blustery, but the temp was pretty warm.

We saw porpoises around Bear Point and more near Pensacola. At Pensacola the wind was really blowing and the rollers coming in through the cut from the Gulf of Mexico rocked us pretty good. We were relieved to get into merely choppy waters again. It remained choppy all afternoon in varying degrees. The wind has been out of the south and southeast, and in the more open areas we bounced through some pretty steep waves.

We are anchored in a semi-sheltered spot between Pensacola and Ft. Walton Beach. Sara and Trevor got a good set on their anchor and so did we. Both boats are getting a lot of spin action from the winds which are gusting to 25. We are supposed to get thunderstorms tonight and tomorrow, then colder tomorrow night. We plan to head for a marina around Ft. Walton tomorrow, about 25 or 30 miles east.

We are all fine, actually Sara and Trevor seem to do better in the waves than we do. I guess it's their deeper keel.

No pictures today, not even the lighthouse at Pensacola. It's hard to take pictures when you're holding onto the computer with one hand and using the other to keep your seat. More tomorrow.
