Saturday, November 22, Sunday November 23, 2014 – Panama City

Day started slow and we slept in.  Overcast with intermittent sprinkles of rain.  Got bikes down and headed into town, exploring and searching for Harbor Freight Store.  Ran into Bill and Connie on their bikes out by Wal-Mart and Harbor Freight store, about 4 miles inland.  Tom made purchases to support his favorite tool store and then we decided to purchase a frozen turkey to cook this week for Thanksgiving.  Tom noticed Bill’s new “hairdo” and needed one too.  After completing our shopping and getting directions, we proceeded to the local barbershop. There were 4 female barbers and they did not take a reservation which was perfect for Tom as he was a “walk-in”.  They did a good job and he felt pampered for the day.  On the way back to the boat we stopped for lunch at Toms Hot Dogs – great dogs and a special foot log dog with kraut, mustard, onions, special beef and Toms special sauce.  A gastronomic delight.    Back at the boat we did some cruising planning with regards to airfare, the cats and marina locations.

On Sunday, the winds picked up and shifted to the southeast to 35 mph wind and the rain started.  It rained like cats and dogs.  The sun would peak its head out and tempted us to come out and play and then the rain started again.  Tom made French toast for breakfast which could have been considered the highlight of the day.  Tom took a nap, Colletta worked on her beading, Tom took a nap, Colletta listened to some of the Bears game, Tom read, watched a little cable TV, got caught up with family and friends on the phone, and Tom planned tomorrows travels.
