Friday...big day...end of the waterway and into Mobile Bay!! Salt water, beach birds, sand between your toes; everything but the dolphin escort we got last time (it was a little warmer then). We passed the huge shipping docks, cruise ship ports, and putted right into the bay like we'd been there all along. We're now at Eastern Shore Marina in Fairhope, Alabama, a town we learned to love on our first trip. We arrived at the marina mid-afternoon, and within 30 minutes had been invited by two sailors at the marina to join them for a beach bonfire at sunset. We thoroughly enjoyed the Mobile skyline in the background, the fire on the beach, the gorgeous black lab Maggie, the good new best friends Larry and Tom, and the roasted hot dogs and Tom's "sand grill" ribs. Does this beat working or WHAT??
Glad you made it, you old salts. Now what?
ReplyDeleteHey J&N! Wonderful adventure unfolding for you and it leaves me green w/envy. Absolutely love the pics, just wish we could see them bigger. GLad to hear you made it thru Ida with no problems and have found yourself in saltwater with new friends. Take care and keep the news coming. I love it.

Ken, come on down! The "now what" is to head around the corner and cross the gulf. Donna, I've tried to make the pix bigger (and Ken suggested that too), but so far without success. I'll keep working on it. Don't be jealous, just join us!!
