Sailing at Panama City Beach

I will be there.
Hopefully the sea breeze kick's in.

Tyler,
Are you going to be on that slow yellow N20 that all most sank at RTI?

Haha, yep.
That was my fault we almost sunk.
I forgot to put the plugs in.

Yeah, we sailed there last weekend, wind was from the south at about 13-15 knots..
it picked up to about 20 because of a storm...
did you know they blocked off the pass?

So we can't get to the Gulf?

We can, but the wind has to be right.
the only problem is, it's VERY narrow to get out.
so if you have to head up...you are pretty much screwed..
it's all good though...we flew a hull right outta there.
the chop was about 6-8 feet..but we handled it.

All it is, is metal piping to stop the oil..
but it will NOT stop us!

Do to a situation beyond my control, we will be able to arrive at PC early Friday afternoon.

The wind and clouds will be great, just have to watch out for lightning!!

Friday Night: A 50 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms. Mostly cloudy, with a low around 82. West southwest wind around 15 mph.

Saturday: A 50 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 90. West southwest wind around 15 mph.

Saturday Night: A 30 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms. Partly cloudy, with a low around 80.

Gotta love them random tropical storms/depressions over the gulf.

Skarr,

I will be in PC beach on the 23 for 3 days and I am thinking about extending our stay and bringing the boat with me. If I do we will be in the holiday inn sunspree for 2 nights the St. Andrews for another two nights. Which is the best camp site at St. Andrews? 143? 14? I see you have stayed at both. I will take your word on it and hope its available for the 25th thru 27. I will be in a small motor home just like this one here
http://www.roadtrek.com/models.aspx?ModelID=17&YearID=11&Country=USA

Its small enough to fit pretty much any site that will take a pop up. Thanks for the help.

Ok after viewing the sites available, 14 and 143 are only tent sites. Is 149 a waterfront hobie friendly site. I would like to just leave it set up on the beach if possible.

15 is the best then 14. I think 143 is listed as tent only.
There are a lot of sites on the water, but most have trees or rip rap along the shore. The ones I have listed had a big enough beach to park a cat on. It has been over a year, so conditions might have changed. There is a ramp at the park but it is surrounded by piers. I will up date my list this weekend. I have about 15 more sites that can be used.

You can check availability here http://www.floridastateparks.org/standrews/default.cfm

When will you be there steve?
friday night?

Well that figures, they are both taken. I just dont want to pull the boat and drive the motorhome if we are not going to be able to get a site that does not have rip rap or beach access.

Do to a situation beyond my control, we will be able to arrive at PC early Friday afternoon.

Looking forward to The Captains Table, and some night sailing.
