We moved to Fairhope Yacht Club on Sunday, a place we visited in 2005 on our first journey. We loved Fairhope (both the city and the yacht club), and were disappointed in 2007 on our return trip when the yacht club was under construction from hurricane Katrina's damage. The club has been rebuilt, and is a beautiful facility. We were invited to join a cruiser's pot luck dinner on Monday and met lots of very friendly members (with lots of cruising stories and lots of good food). Several members stopped by the boat to offer cars, any assistance we might need, and friendship. One couple, David and Mary, not only invited us to the cruiser's potluck; they also invited us to their home for dinner (and when you invite a cruiser to dinner you have to pick them up at the marina, feed them, then take them back to the marina). We plan to revisit Fairhope, and we also hope to stay in touch with some of the very friendly members and cruisers we met.
