Took Millie to shore amidst some fog and raised the
anchor at 7.

We had a great ride along
the ICW to our anchorage at Red Fish Point where we will watch an air show off
Pensacola. This anchorage is in a bay
between two sandy islands.
It's Veterans Day, the anchorage is busy and full but we found a great spot to watch the
show.

Where the blue dot is in the center of the screen is where we were anchored. Naval Air station Penasocola is the large brown X right above us.

We arrived at late morning and had
plenty of time to take Millie and Callie in to run on the beach and swim. Just about noon, a very large and expensive
motor yacht (we'll call him Rodney) entered the bay. Golden was anchored and we were rafted to
them.
Rodney pulled up along side us and
asked if he too could raft up to Golden.
At first, we thought he was joking and laughed it off. Then he explained that all his guests were
beer drinkers and would not be able to help him with setting the anchor. We declined, explaining that his boat weight
would be too much for our anchor. The
air show started soon after.

The Blue
Angels - the main attraction did not disappoint - we took a few pictures:

Observer hosted docktails with Golden and Ivanhoe - lots
of Looper tales and fun. Fireworks followed that were captured rather bizarrely by my camera.
