Nice sail across Pensacola Bay then motored to anchor point in Santa Rosa Sound to watch Blue Angels air show. Frequent showers but after a short rain delay the US Navy's finest put on a great show. One of the solo pilots made an incredibly tight turn right over Touché. The vapor coming off the wings and fuselage was pretty impressive.
Lots of boats anchored in Fishing Bend to watch the air show. However, a lot of the show was the boats and lack of seamanship. We watched a large Carver motor yacht "anchor" off our port side. Took the idiot a full half hour to realize he wasn't hooked. He finally figured it out and moved. Then he dragged again. After a display of incredible ineptitude, he managed to hook his anchor over the anchor rode of a 50+ foot sport fisherman and bang into the side of it. Watching the two boats tangled together was painful. This was only one instance of half dozen or so anchor dragging events. This isn't rocket science. Some people are just stuck on stupid. Most of the boats have left and the admiral and I just grilled and ate a nice dinner. We're about to weigh anchor and head back to the Pensacola Yacht Club. Dennis C.
