General summary: Wednesday 11/29 — One of the coldest mornings so far, but warmed up quickly when the sun came out. We need to pause movement a bit as Tom needs to see a dentist in a few days for a semi-urgent issue. Appointment scheduled for Tuesday just East of here. Also, winds are going to pick up substantially until the weekend, so best to stay put. Did a walking tour of historic downtown Pensacola. Well designed – follow a red line on the sidewalk and there are QR codes to scan at various locations that give details.

Thursday 11/30 – Walked (3 miles round trip) to get groceries and then did laundry. Read, relaxed, watched a movie on Netflix. Tom made delicious lamb stew for dinner.

Friday 12/1 – I can’t remember ever waking up to warmer temperatures than the previous day’s high. Also much more humid. It makes sense, though, looking at the wind direction. It was directly from the North before, bringing chilled temps from Canada. Now it is coming from directly South from the Caribbean and feels almost tropical. Toured the National Naval Aviation Museum.

Saturday 12/2 – Walked in heavy rain to Saturday Market on Palifox Street, where we got cinnamon rolls for tomorrow and homemade dog treats for Cocoa. Then walked to Joe Patti’s Seafood, a local favorite place to get seafood and not to be missed!

We really do plan on leaving tomorrow, as winds will have calmed by morning.

Boater information: Seville Marina has nice docks, locked entry, stylish newly renovated bathrooms, showers, laundry. Grassy parks just outside of fence for dog walks. Gas and pump-out in at marina nearby. Excellent seafood restaurant (The Fish House) on site. No courtesy car but grocery store 1.5 miles away and Uber readily available.
