Day 38 Gulf Shores, AL to Ft. Walton Beach, FL

We had a very unusual day! The Pensacola Bridge is still not repaired from hurricane damage, so Dennis' partner Elli found a boat to take us from the mainland near Perdido Key to Pensacola Beach. It only took the bikes and riders. Dennis and Holly had to drive "the long way around".

At mile 12, we passed into Florida!!
Several of us missed a turn to get to the boat, which added some stress to the day. The boat ride itself was wonderful and the Blue Angels were practicing over our heads. I'm not a big fan, but it is impossible not to be impressed with their level of skill. It was quite thrilling.

After landing at Pensacola Beach, we rode along Santa Rosa Island, a long skinny key that included the Gulf Islands National Seashore Park.
Had to take one last bridge to get to the mainland. We thought we were told we couldn't ride on the road...so we walked the narrow pedestrian path.
Amusing ourselves while waiting for dinner...
Dinner at the Shack, in Ft. Walton Beach was worth the wait.
