Panama City Marina to Apalachicola

We rented a car and drove home last week for Christmas and enjoyed visiting with friends and family throughout the week, today (12/26) we drove back to our waiting boat and friends in Panama City Marina. Tomorrow we plan to head on over to Apalachicola to position ourselves for a gulf crossing on Wednesday/Thursday. We'll leave Apalachicola around 1:00 or 2:00 p.m. on Wednesday and travel 7.5 to 8 mph through the bay and across the gulf to Tarpon Springs' Turtle Cove Marina. The trip will cover about 186 miles which will take about 24 hours at our speed. While in Apalachicola we'll be at the Water Street Hotel & Marina.
