Kwooley how is the water is there any oil between Pensicola and Panama, particularly around Destin?

Was down in Orange Beach over the weekend. No oil. It is expected to be arrive this week sometime. You should be fine in Destin. Boom is being placed at all the passes. I went to Pensecola on Thursday but not over to Destin.

Your boat running good now?

yep boat is running good. Only problem I had was the bearing in the raw water pump blew out (the only part that I did not replace), but it was an easy fix. I put a 4 blade 24 pitch labbed prop on. it has trouble getting out of the hole with 5 people in the boat and I can only get about 4700 rpm WOT. But the mid range handling is great with the 4 blade.

You still going to Destin in a week? Heard on the news up here this morning that the oil sheen is 9 miles out from Pensacola.

I heard that as well. I was planning on being in Destin on the 17th of this month for a long weekend if the oil does not Hit. Everyone down here has gone to 24hr cancel policy so I will play it by ear. If the oil does hit there is no reason for me to go.

All rentals have gone to a 24 hr cancellation policy?

I called Bay towne resort this morning. They are now on a 24 hr cancellation policy instead of a 14 day. Not they will cancel on you but you can cancel on them for a full refund within 24 hrs (if you thought I meant them cancel on you). When I was in Orange Beach last weekend at my parents place people were saying the same thing about places.

That is good to know, thanks for that info. I sure hope we dont have to cancel. I look forward to this trip for the whole year.
