You can get anything you want at Alice’s Restaurant

We slept in, awoke to a beautiful day, and discovered some more interesting chainsaw art on our way to brunch.  I’ve always wanted to eat at a restaurant called “Alice’s,” and finally crossed it off the bucket list. Bonus Question: Who wrote and performed “Alice’s Restaurant Massacree,” the 1967, 18-minute, Vietnam War protest song? (answer at end of post).

We left St. Andrews, briefly shared the channel with this inbound ocean freighter, then traveled a quick 10 miles to Emerald Harbor Marina in beautiful Watson Bayou on the east side of Panama City, FL.

Our three-day dolphin drought was broken; we saw several underway, although it’s still hard to capture them on camera.

It was in the mid-60s with a bright sun when we docked, and the warmth felt amazing. There are four other Looper boats here—Livin’ The Stream, Ebbtide, In Cahoots and Little Red Fox—and we know them all. We passed a fifth, Yippee-Ki-Yay, in the bay, who snapped this picture of us.

After getting caught up with everyone, we took a walk into town, did laundry, ate dinner aboard and watched the sun set, moon rise and the stars come out.

Bonus Question Answer: Arlo Guthrie. The song is autobiographical and largely true.
