So me and a fairly large crew keep making it down for Billy Bowlegs. and love it. pretty familiar with the water, from Sand Destin to Pensacola.

But I am thinking about towing down for this run, and staying on the boat. (AC, Shore power, and Genny) for 2-4 nights and checkign out this run.

what i am looking for is a marina, that has a transit dock with power, and showers? is there any? even if i have to come up to the north part of the bay?

Have you checked with legendary marine? I am pretty sure they have transient slips.

I will check them out just seams like not uch doc space. and really i can find docs, its to find a place with showers, and docs with power.

Try this place http://www.northlightmarina.com/wet-...nt-dockage.cfm

Just talked to them and this looks promising. Full service! with showers. so thats should work.

How is Billy bowlegs thinking of coming this June? Is crab island crowded all week? What else goes on that week?

I have a few threads on billys. been 3 years strait, and planing on a 4th. great time for sure.

Crab island is the place most days. Buts Satruday, the actuall BILLY bowlegs party is not at crab island.

its on the fort walton side at the sand bar there. its will be PACKED, and packed early. we leave the house (with boats docked at house) at 6-7am. and its only 10 min away. to get a spot on the main line.

GREAT party. good times LOTS OF crazy ness. crab island is the busiest the next day (Sunday). more laid back but most the same poeople.

What are the dates this year and where do you stay?

Ft. Walton Yacht Basin is a good place to keep your boat. It's roughly within 100-200 yards of the party. Phil can answer all your questions. (850) 244-5725

We rent a house inbetween Fort walton, and Nivarra. with a doc so all of of us can come and go by boats every day.

dinner, crab island, where ever. its always the first weekend in June. 2013 june 1st is a saturday.. so May30th-June 3rd is the prim time.

we will come in the week prior, and stay through the weekend. then laod up and drive home that monday the 4th.
