Pensacola

Just an update and a few more pics of Pensacola. We will spend Christmas here and sail on as soon after as possible. Pensacola is a very nice place but from the marina not that easy to get around. The bus system takes time to get use to and gocerery stores and supply stores are too far to walk to. Australian John (a fellow sailor in the marina) let us borrow his car to get to the needed stores for provisioning.


Moondance in Palafox marina.


Statue of Andrew Jackson in the square near the marina. West Florida was handed over to Jackson, by Spain, in this square in 1821.


Visitors in the marina.






Hoping everyone a Merry Christmas.

Hi guys- Wow- That is so awesome that you've gone so far already! Hope you are having a fantastic time! We are in Oregon but are heading back to the boat on Jan 5th. We will be setting sail again in March, after the Northerly's blow through.

Keep in touch, so glad to see you doing so well!!

Fair winds!
