Five Loopers left Bay Point Marina this morning. We are all on the same plan to arrive in Carrabelle on Saturday or Sunday. We are on our way to Port St. Joe for two nights. This is a sister marina to Bay Point Marina. The day starts quite cool but the sun is out and the boat warms up pretty quickly. Today’s travel takes us through St. Andrew’s Bay, into East Bay and then into another canal section of the Gulf Intercoastal Waterway (GIWW). The final five miles for the day is through a canal called the Gulf County Canal that leads from the GIWW to the city of Port St. Joe and the St. Joseph Bay. I’m sure that in the past this was a busy port town with shipping and fishing industries, but it is now a town working to transform itself and attract a tourist trade.
