15 December, 2019 Carrabelle anchorage

Calm clear morning @0630.  Oyster bar/restaurant band played late, but not too obnoxious. Serenity stable, gently swing 180 degrees as the tide began to fall around midnight, low at 1046 this morning.

We splashed Kaos at 1000 and rowed to C-Quarters marina who allowed us to secure the dinghy.  We walked to 1st Baptist Church for Sunday morning service.  Small congregation, very friendly folks who welcomed us.

Walked around the waterfront area of Carrabelle; a few thrift stores and nicknack shops open.  Had coffee at a small locally owned cafe and discussed hurricanes and people with the owner.  We continued to wander around most of the afternoon.  It was good to get out and walk around.

Rowed the dink back to Serenity.  Strong incoming tide made it a challenge.  Watching you-tuber videos of everyone hopping in their dinks and going off to town seems effortless.  Heck it is:  they have larger dinks and outboard motors.  Not quite so romantic in an 8 foot dink with oars in a 1.5 knot current.  But we finally captured the swim platform and climbed aboard Serenity and got Kaos once again secured.  Another night at anchorage.  We walked and looked at two local marinas for berthing for at least a week.  More about that and the "crossing" in a later post.
