Oh La La.......We Love the Gulf Coast

We couldn't stand being around all of this good smelling salt water so we took off last Friday for Tampa. We made a stop over in Ocala and picked up our boat and dropped off the Razor. Had a great weekend visit with Marianne, Kevin and of course Jackson and returned to Panama City on Monday. We have spent the last two days out on East Bay fishing our little hearts out. Bruce went with us yesterday and we caught enough keeper trout for a good dinner. Didn't see one other fisherman the entire day out in East Bay. How peaceful to have the solitude on the water, and to be able to drive the boat by water to Bruce's house and our neighborhood to pick him up for a day on the water. Fran picked him up at the campground after she got off work and we had a great dinner of teriyaki meatballs, stir fry vegetables, homemade bread (of course) and rice. Yes, Life Is Good Today. The word in the Tyndall Fam Camp Campground every day is....did you see the bear last night? This bear comes into the campground every night to check the dumpster. The campground is quite populated and on the busy Highway 98. It is just a matter of time before this bear discovers the wonderful barbecue grills gracing his landscape. Somebody is going to get hurt and it is not going to be the bear's fault. These campers have bragged about being only 10 feet from him. That is too close. Oh well....certainly wish they would trap and transport to the poor fellow to a safer location. We are telling ourselves that we are going to complete our "chores" today before we fish again.
