If you don't mind me asking, what was your trade in the Navy. Where you anything to do with the aircraft or were you more on the ship side of things?

It goes from Apalachicola west towards Panama City Beach. there is a pennisula that is in Cape San Blas. Quiet, really quiet. We rented a vacation house there some years ago. Anyway, there is/was a lighthouse out on the eastern edge of the pennisula. if you google the "old cape san blas lighthouse location" you can see where it was. The ocean is unrelenting as it has taken a couple hundred yards of beach, so much so that they moved it off the pennisula into the town area. This is the area where it was located a move or two prior to relocation into town.
