At the end of the Choctawhatchee Bay is the land cut (that means it is a man made channel) known as the “Grand Canyon”. Before entering this section we joked that the name “Grand Canyon” might be a bit of a stretch, but we were pleasantly surprised that it was quite a beautiful area with reasonably high cliffs.
We finished today’s travels by going through West Bay and St. Andrews Bay (where Panama City is located) and finally into Grand Lagoon. Grand Lagoon is in Panama City Beach. We will stay here until we see a weather window opening up for crossing the Gulf. Then we’ll head to Apalachicola and Carrabelle and get ready for our crossing.

These are the most interesting jelly fish. They look like large white softballs. Each one of these jellies had tiny little fish swimming around their tentacles. |
This is a blowup shot of the above jellies. It isn't the clearest picture, but you can see the little fish swimming around. |
