They say bad luck comes in threes, well after the incident and little sleep overnight, my port engine would not crank over. Fortunately the starboard engine fired up and I was able to use the parallel start switch to fire the port engine. Whew. Without further adieu, we headed off for the Fort Walton Dock.... it was damaged and taped off closed. No worries we decided to go another hour or so to the Joe's Bayou Anchorage near Destin FL.
Joe's Bayou was a bay which worked it's way into a very nice neighborhood. It was a great spot with lots of room and well protected from wind and other boats. We had a pleasant although somewhat rushed dinner due to the fact that the Alabama Crimson Tide was playing LSU at 7 PM. You see Carlton is a ribald (ie. more than avid) Alabama fan.
You can see that I tried to get into the spirit of the game but the #1 team in the country was not playing well and they were losing in the 4th quarter. I decided that I best leave before the end of the game for fear of enduring the wrath of Carlton and getting blamed for their first loss of the season. Well Carlton and Becky are still speaking to me which meant that Alabama came back and won the game; thank goodness.
Just another night on the water.
