We are having so much fun here at the Wharf Marina complex in Orange Beach
Alabama. Rented a car yesterday which is always a thrill to go where you want any
time you want. But of coarse our first stop was to West Marine. Got things for the boat. We went to Lulu's for lunch. Lulu is Lucy Buffett, Jimmy Buffett's sister. So I had to get a t shirt. It says "Crazy sista. You either have one, know one or are one." So the marina here is beautiful. It is new so the docks are great, the showers and laundry facilities are better than home, the shops are darling, the restaurants are great and everyone is in a good mood.
We met old friends for drinks yesterday afternoon into evening and made new friends too. I think we may be close to the end of the loopers. People coming through now are all saying they may have waited too long to leave because it is getting cold and the holidays are looming. The weather here has been gorgeous but is going to change soon. They are predicting rain for the weekend. That means the window for crossing the gulf is closing again. Dick is dragging his feet about leaving here but I think we should get down to the staging area and get ready for the next window. You never know when it will happen and they get fewer and fewer at this time of the year. Now we are talking about by passing Pensacola since it is only 30 miles from here and we can get further than that. We probably have 4 days traveling to get to Appalachacola from here. Decisions decisions. More to come.
