Comments:  We pulled up anchor and left Navarre around 630 after awaiting the fog to lift.  Shortly after shoving off the fog returned and stayed with us for another 30 minutes.  We made our way through The Narrows turning NE once we reached the Choctawhachee Bay.   We were under jib alone most of the way through the bay, with winds near 17 knots on the beam.  It rained most of this stretch.  Thank you John and Chuck for convincing me to add the Eisenglass curtains.  We made it to the Clyde B. Wells Bridge around 1415, greeted by several dolphins which stayed around to visit and allowed us to take pictures after anchoring.  We anchored on the NE side of the bridge in protection of the norther, which should blow in shortly.
