Cool again this morning.  We saw several homeless people around the park this morning.  That may have been why the police were notified we  were at the dock.

Walked to Adonna's Bakery for breakfast.  Unfortunately, they weren't serving breakfast any more but she had sweet rolls. (TripAdvisor said they served omelets and such)  Not great but the proprietor was pleasant to talk with.  There was a charity run today so the streets were full of walkers and runners.  Most were dressed for the occasion in holiday garb such as reindeer antlers and elf tights.

Hung out at the boat the rest of the morning.  Towards afternoon, we decided to go into town again for lunch.  Asked the policemen that had shooed away the homeless guys where we should go for lunch.  They suggested Fokkers Sports Bar.  The bar had a  large, what looked to me to be a, remote control WW1 Fokker airplane hanging over the bar.  Lots of old airplane photos also.  Neat place.  Food was pretty good and we each had a Pensacola Bay Brewery Lighthouse Porter, good stuff.

Took a walk after lunch.  It was cool and windy.  We found a used book store but it was mostly romance novels.  Also found a coffee house so stopped there to warm up.  Back to boat so we could head out to Niceville.

Short trip to Sarah Ann Bayou where we were buying a used anchor.  This was quite a set up.  There are 5 slips, sailboats in 3 slips and 2 empty slips.  We passed several shrimp boats docked in this canal/bayou. 

Got tied up and relaxed.  It turned cool so cranked up the heater.  The owner, Matt, was out of town, returning the next day, so we just chilled.  We watched one of the shrimp boats getting ready to go out about 9 pm.  It was lit up like a Christmas tree.  Cool to see up close.
