Yes those back bay, bayou facing areas are far preferable to me, to the gulf facing areas, with their runaway condo / resort focused development. Plus not so exposed to the frontal assault of storms coming ashore.
Those areas are not undiscovered but have some nice older established neighborhoods with good spacing and nice waterfront homes. Lynn Haven and St. Andrews are places that have caught my eye here in Panama City area. My Brother used to have a nice place on Mobile bay. Lots of exploring to do.
Google did turn up a couple of sailing schools with rentals offered. This seems a mostly motorboat focused area, with lots of very capible high powered boats designed to reach the good fishing waters well out in the gulf.
MRM. Feel free to PM me if Eyes on the ground here can be of any help.
