We made a stop by the Fort and they were having a reenactment that weekend. It was very interesting and they provided really nice boat docks for the boating traffic to visit the fort. After the fort visit we cruised on down to Hamilton island very near the famous 129 Harley Davidson dealership. We set anchor for the night, but as the evening came on the winds were getting stronger and our anchor didn't seem to be holding. It was a rock bottom and we knew it was really suppose to blow that night. We made a decision to pull anchor and head back to the Fort's boat docks for the night. We made it in just about dark and tied up. :)
We have been planning our retirement adventure for sometime which was to complete the Great Loop. We bought 121 acres in northwest Florida in July 2002 after Alan had been misdiagnosed with Lymphoma . Our plan was that in 5 years we would move here and it would be our home. In 2007 we sold our home, then in October 2007 we sold the business. We bought our boat "Simplicity" after we sold our house. We made our permanent move to Chipley and have loved every minute of it. We love being around nature, trees and the feel that you are out in the middle of the woods away from civilization , yet we are only 2 miles from town. We built a barn style home and we live totally off grid. In 2011 along with our sons Zack and Adam we started our honey production. Alan has been messing with bees since he was seventeen. It has become a family affair with our grandchildren Dom and Astrid helping along with Linda's mom Nita and Zack’s wife Beatriz with the honey harvest.We hope you enjoy our Wildflower and Tupelo honey:)
