Colorado here were come! Cool temps and high altitiude! Yeah!

We got up this morning and there was a tropical storm warning for our area. So we hoisted the anchor and went to the Snug Harbor Marina in Panama City. Tropical Storm Claudette hasn't quite gotten here yet, but we are safely tied up with land nearby.
