And finally, Back Home

While we were looking forward to seeing our friends again, we really weren't ready to quit the trip just yet so we decided to anchor again in Hogtown Bayou.  We were joined by Art and his faithful, furry friend Bella.  Art and his wife, Becky, bought Sanctuary and it was wonderful to see her again.  They have taken great care of our first love and truly enjoy sailing her so we're all happy!  From there it was back to the Fort Walton Yacht Club and our familiar slip.  We had so many people to meet and greet and it seemed like we had only been gone a few weeks.  Chores are screaming for attention but ,for now, they can wait.

Once we passed into the ditch, we saw the usual small bits of spoil islands.

The cypress trees are so beautiful along this stretch of the waterway.

A swollen cypress knee stump.

Almost into home waters.

Out into Choctawhatchee Bay after 4 months.

The 331 bridge behind us, Hogtown ahead.

Our two loves.

Blue Moon and Sanctuary.
