16 December, 2019 Carrabelle river anchorage

Carrabelle, FL
Calm morning, just a lazy coffee and breakfast morning.  Warming nicely, near 70 today. Watching the birds and fishing boats coming and going.  Drying out after very heavy dew.  Tide variation results in decent current coupled with the flow of Carrabelle river can make a colorful approach to the dock.  We are headed to the Mooring of Carrabelle (marina )around noon to get diesel and a slip.

Arriving about slack tide, but with a decent SE wind we successfully parallel parked against a face fuel dock.  Didn’t need much just 16.7 gallons.  We have taken a slip for the week.  It was cheaper than the daily transit rate and we get a discount as loopers.
Sailboats too
Weather is not good for many days.  Gulf sea state not forecast to be conductive for a little 27 foot boat to make the crossing.  So, we have supplies, equipment and mail coming to Carrabelle.  We will work on Serenity and do preparations for open water (ocean) transit and just enjoy this friendly little town in the region referred to the forgotten coast.

More detains on the crossing and where too next coming soon.
