Hey! Look at me! I'm in Florida! We finally made it. This last part of the trip was way better than the others. We didn't have to sail at night, and we didn't get all wet! I even managed to get in a couple of naps.
When we left the little place where we had spent Thanksgiving night, we had to stop at a gas station so we had enough gas to make it the rest of the way. It was really windy, but after we finished getting the gas (John says it's not gas; it's diesel. I'm not really sure what the difference is. Maybe you should look that up.) Cappy got me off the boat and took me for a walk. It was really nice to be able to walk around and find a real puppy bathroom in the grass. Whew!
That day, we had to go under a couple of really low bridges and John and Cappy were kind of nervous about that. But we made it under all of them and finally got to a place called Pensacola Bay. It was really big and there were these giant houses and towns all around. I think a lot of people must live there.
Then the coolest thing of all happened. John's son-in-law came out in his big power boat (That means it's a boat that doesn't have the big white flappy things on it like we have.) to meet us and to show us the way to the new marina where we were going to leave the boat for awhile. He had some other people with him, and it was really cool to be sailing along and to have another boat right there so close that we could talk to them!
We made it to the new marina in a place called Fort Walton Beach, Florida, and everybody helped us tie up the boat and get everything all set.
Then we left the boat there and went to John's daughter's house where I finally got to meet my cousin Morgan and the new baby I had been hearing about. The baby is awesome and I think she likes me. Morgan (She's a golden retreiver.) is a lot of fun, but she's really big! Doesn't she have pretty hair?
