Hello from the "Cape"
Hello from the Cape". Doesn't that sound sophisticated? Or more like Hillbillys in Florida? Well it was another beautiful day again yesterday. I guess you may get tired of hearing that, Oh well. Mark made a new freind. His name is Randy, but everyone calls him "Catfish". Well Catfish works for the company that is restoring the beach here. They are currently working about a mile and a half up the beach from us. They have this large ship that is a dredge and it goes out about 5 miles off shore and sucks up white sand from the Gulf floor and then comes back to the beach and pumps it out onto the beach. Then equipment spreads it out. They work 24/7. They are so far from us that we hardly notice them. Anyway, now the story of Catfish. Ever since we have arrived we have seen this guy sitting in a chair about a half mile up the beach from us. He is there every day. There is also a dead sea turtle on the beach where he is sitting. It seems that his job is to guard this sea turtle until the state wildlife people can come and pick it up. And it also seems that the state is not in any big hurry, since the turtle has been there since the storm that Sunday when we arrived. Some job huh.We went out to eat last night in Panama City Beach. It was a bit further than I remember. Unfortunetly, most of the establishments are closed in December. We rode around and found this realy nice place called Scampies. The parking lot was packed. So we knew this was a good place. They were have there employee Christmas party, they were closed that night. So we ended up at Bill's Seafood and Crabshack. A kinda bikers place. They had a small menu, but great food. Well I guess I have bored you enough today, so I will say goodbye and until next time. John
