Docked fishing boats on Apalachacola waterfrount. After leaving the Moorings Marina in Carabelle its a short trip acrost St. George Sound to Apalachacola Bay.
Shrimp boats are a fading reminder of days gone by when the area was a major port. The town now has become a "yuppie" place to visit along the panhandle coast. Lots of shops and resturants and fresh seafood from the bay.
Looking back at Apalachacola Bay as you start to pass marinas heading up Scipio Creek to "Scipio Creek Deep Water Marina"

Papa Joes resturant at Scipio Creek Marina. I'm reminded of the time we ate there two nights in a row while waiting for the Gulf to settle down. Apalachacola is a major "jumping off" spot to cross the Gulf of Mexico. Anyway, when I told the waitress that I wanted the fresh grouper dinner again, she said " you mean the chicken dinner don't you?" When I replied that I didn"t see chicken on the menu she said, "Yeah, thats what we call the grouper when you were afraid to go across the Gulf". JoAnn and I have a self inflicted rule that we don't criuse in seas over 3ft waves.
