PV at anchor off Santa Rosa Island

We left Tacky Jack’s around 800 this morning after waiting for the fog to lift.  It is a perfect and protected dock to tie to for the night and eat some good seafood.  The water throughout the day was smooth with no wind.  The anemometer read the speed of the boat.  We dropped the anchor about 100 yards off the Navarre Beach Park on the Santa Rosa Island around 1515 and dinghied to shore.  The distance traveled today was about 50 nautical miles.  Today was the first time we were able to see the anchor on the bottom.  Tomorrow we'll try to make moderate distance then find protection from the approaching norther.
