Left Eastern Shores Marina about 7:30 this morning. It was cool but sunny and calm. The water in Mobile Bay was as smooth as glass.Travelled with Dream Fever south along the eastern shore of Mobile Bay and caught the Gulf Intracoastal waterway, followed it east to Perdido Bay and Orange Beach Marina. Along the way, we saw a few seagulls, several pelicans, many dolphins playing in the water around the boats. Passed Lulu's, a restaurant owned by Jimmy Buffet's sister. They have a dock, but we came on by, plan to go back by car tomorrow for lunch. The temperature here is in the high 70s during the day, a little cooler at night. Had a late lunch, then walked up to the end of the street and watched the pelicans and dolphins in the bay.
Jill and Richard in Finally came down to Orange Beach later today; they had stopped at Lulu's for lunch. Jill tells us that the crab claws are great, and gave us a lesson in how to eat them. Hope we can remember for tomorrow. You know you are in the south when: you see palm and banana trees, and the washer and dryer at the marina are located outdoors.

Glad to hear you have made it to the Gulf. Be sure to look over the bow of the boat when the dolphins are around. They love to run in front of the boats. Seems like they can play like that for ever.
ReplyDeleteWe have very much enjoyed watching the dolphins play around the boat, felt like we were going to run over them, but obviously they know what they are doing. Two came and played around in the marina yesterday.
