55 miles along the Gulf Coast from Dauphin Island Alabama to Pensacola Florida. We took the ferry from Dauphin Island across Mobile Bay to Fort Morgan and then continued along the barrier islands and then over to Pensacola. Passed what turned out to be natural gas drilling platforms in the bay.
This is me below, happy to be back in my home state. The blob in the upper left corner is Karen's finger.
Went onto the naval airbase to visit the Museum of Naval aviation. Home of the Blue Angels who just happened to be practicing above us. Also got up close to an F-14 the jet that was featured in Top Gun, the movie I saw five times.
The part of the museum devoted to women in Naval aviation was tiny, but still inspirational. This woman was talking about her experience landing a jet on an aircraft carrier.
Finished the day with the margarita party for crossing the Florida state line, and then dinner at a tapas restaurant.
Only another 400 to 500 miles left in Florida to reach St. Augustine.
Love the picture of the drilling platform, worth framing? So glad you are back in Florida but I think I will just miss you, I am leaving next Monday. See you in VT, the Seely/Mithoefer Inn is always open.
