Pearl Bayou to Tom's Bayou, Valparaiso, Florida

 The rains from Hurricane Zeta came through around 3 am Thursday along with the wind off and on all day with the wind really picking up. We had a motor yacht come in and anchor around sundown and were gone early. The owner of the large anchored sailboat came by and said hello in his inflatable and other than that it was a quiet anchorage. A fisherman came by in his skiff to check on the crab pots around the perimeter of the anchorage. We left on Saturday morning when we could see that the weather was not going to be pleasant in Port St. Joe this week. We had a beautiful sunny day and calm seas for travel as we retraced our route back to the intracoastal. We headed for Tom's Bayou to anchor out on Halloween.
