Holley Navarre Seniors

Members of the Holley Navarre Seniors Association took a trip on the Boogie Glass Bottom Boat out of Destin. The day was beautiful, with the sun and breeze. The seagulls followed the boat, looking for treats. Members watched the crew pull in the crab trap filled with crabs, and then cruised around, watching the Dolphins, both through the glass bottom and from the decks. The dolphins cooperated by circling the boat, and showing off two new calves. Everyone had a great time, despite the fact that several people in the front of the boat got an unexpected shower on the way back to the pier.
