Panama City Marina to Apalachicola (2)

We had heavy fog this morning which delayed our departure until almost 10 am, traveling 60 miles at trawler speeds requires a lot of daylight. After the fog lifted the weather was good as we passed through East Bay and into the canal leading to our next port-of-call. As we approached the end of a long day the sun settled below the horizon and another layer of fog settled on our tired bones. Our last 3 miles of a 60 mile trip was dark and difficult to navigate. The inside and outside of my windshield was covered in a layer of dewey haze limiting my visibility to that of a ninety year old man with 30 year old cataracts. That wouldn't have been so bad except that I had to turn back into a small stream which was only about 60 yards wide which lead to our marina. Several people from the hotel assisted us and our buddy boat, Kharma, in tying up then we promptly made a bee-line to a local oyster bar for drinks and food.
