We spent two nights in Destin, the first one anchored in the almost totally enclosed harbor and the second one safely tucked into the Harbor Walk marina. The weatherman had warned us about a bad storm so we thought is would be good to be tied in. It also gave us access to take our bikes to shore although we had to crawl over the dinghy because they had no side piers. The rainy afternoon included a four mile ride to the grocery store for bread and milk and wonderful exercise.
We found a friendly blue heron visiting
on the swim platform of the boat next to us as we left for dinner. Tom had scoped out a restaurant and we ate at the 
Harbor Docks restaurant overlooking the water. This place has it’s own fishing boats so the “catch of the day” is really the catch of the day. We had grilled amberjack which was a new fish for me, but it was delicious. 
This morning we had a beautiful sunny view of the harbor with its palm trees
and snow white sand. There were flocks of pelicans on the sandy point as we pulled under the bridge to leave Destin. Tonight we are anchored in a small inlet, Rocky Bayou.
