[Rhodes22-list] Favorite cruising areas -- Destin FL

[William E. Wickman]

As luck has it, I will be trailering down to Destin, FL at the end of this
month.  I have a business meeting at SanDestin and plan to extend my stay
and do some day sailing in Choctawhatchee Bay and maybe into the Gulf a
little.  I certainly don't expect the wild exciting trip that the Outer
Banks provided.  I don't plan to sail in a tropical storm :)

Anyone out there sailed this area before?  Any recommended sites or
anchorages?  Must do activities?  My current plan is to launch in Hoggtown
Bayou, and sail over to the Baytowne Marina of SanDestin.  I have a condo
rented for the week so will just keep the boat at the marina and sleep in
luxury during the night (company expense accounts are great!).  I may try
to overnight somewhere if I can drag anyone in my family away from the
comfort of the condo.

I'll be sure to post a report if anything interesting happens.

Bill W.

Joseph,

I am not sure what part of FL you are from but I really want to head down
your way. Pensacola area has a lot to offer. I would love to do some
cruising in the Great Lakes as well. I sail on the TN River and we have
some
great anchorages but the B&Bs are few and far between. There are
restaurants
but nothing fancy. You can get cold beer and a good burger at Blue Springs
Marina.

Fair Winds,

Wally
