Apalachicola, FL - October 13-18, 2013

We arrived in Apalachicola on Sunday night and decided to stay a couple days.  We stopped for a day on our last trip through but it wasn't enough to explore all we wanted to see.  After spending a couple nights in the anchorage across from the waterfront, we were invited to tie up to the dock at the Apalachicola Maritime Museum which we gratefully accepted.

 

 

We highly recommend a visit there to learn about the maritime history of the area, take a boat tour or rent a kayak, and of course you have to tour the primary exhibit of the museum, the 58' Hershoff design wooden ketch named the Heritage of Apalachicola. You'll find much more information on their website http://www.ammfl.org/. Thank you George Floyd and your super nice manager, Jenni, for your gracious hospitality. We look forward to returning soon.

 

 

We took a ride on the whaler to take in the sites of the waterfront.

 

 

This was the view from the bow of the Archimedes while moored at the Museum. 

Nice front yard view.  Don't you agree?

 

 

Look closely at this boat.  That is a motorcycle up on the deck...right next to a second dinghy.

Wish THAT was ME!

 

Liquor, pottery, marine supplies...

You can find it all at the Honey Hole right on the waterfront!

 

 

 

 

 

 You sure don't see this everyday on the water!  That is a house, complete with potted plant moving somewhere to the other side of the bridge!

Just after sunrise Friday morning, we departed Apalachicola heading for St. Marks.
