Day #104: Where to?


Westward ho!
The goal of this westward adventure is to replace our chart's terra incognita with memories (preferably good ones).   However, West is a direction, not a destination.  That was the conundrum this morning as we laid out today's route. 

The Grand Cayon
The 17nm canal connecting the West and Choctawatchee Bays is colloqually known as the Grand Cayon.  The name didn't make sense until we we came upon some red, runneled, sandy banks interspersed with pines.  Even so, the name is a bit of stretch :-)

Today's route
So, what was today's destination?  Hogtown Bayou.  It wasn't the name that attacked us but rather the anchorage's protection from southeast winds.  45nm today and 699nm to date.  DBH
