When we awakened this morning the shrimp boats were just returning from a night on the Gulf. Casting off lines we headed out the channel, saying farewell to Apalachicola taking in the interesting sights and sounds along the working waterfront. 
The run to Carrabelle was mostly in the Gulf Intercoastal Waterway where we could see the outer islands of St George, St Vincent and Dog Island.
We stepped back in time again as we walked the streets of the little fishing town of Carrabelle. A man was smoking mullet on the dock when we arrived at the marina, but we opted for a pound of peel and eat shrimp to fulfill our afternoon snack appetites.
Oddly, WWII soldiers trained at Camp Gordon Johnston to prepare the men for amphibious landings. A quarter of a million men were trained at CGJ before it closed in 1946.
