Port St. Joe Marina

Port St. Joe, Florida

The major storm that every one was planning for yesterday barely touched us. Other than a few bumps to the dock around 1 am it was uneventful. A few hundred miles north of here they have heavy snows and freezing rain.

Not everything was smooth on the boat - we did encounter a major virus to our laptop computer which totally upset Barb early this morning! She logged on to a screen full of warnings using poor grammar that was printed in large red letters! Neither one of us knew what to do so she called Keith and he walked her through the repair to get our computer back in running condition. THANK YOU KEITH!!!

With the computer back and working again, life aboard Moor $tuff once again became calm and peaceful.

Tomorrow we will head for Carrabelle a full day of cruising from here. There will be three power boats going and possibly a few sail boats. A moderate chop is predicted on the inside passage where we will cruise. The weather won’t be perfect but its time to get moving. The two other boats traveling with us will be Carl and Ricki on “Quest” and Nelson and Elizabeth on “Little Bit O’ Life”. If everything works out we may all cross the Gulf together this weekend.
