Monday (11-28-11) morning arrived somewhat rainy and cold. We decided to stay another day in Orange Beach. As we were cleaning up from breakfast, we saw a Mainship 34 traveling on the intercoastal, it was Last Chance from Canada! We hadn't seen Martin and Allison since Joe Wheeler State Park, at the AGLCA Rendezvous. Lynda called them on the VHF radio and chatted briefly, they were headed to Pensacola, FL.
The folks next to us on the dock are from Mississippi, and have a DeFever, Kristin Nicole. They hope to start the Loop in the next year or two, so we spent some time with them talking about our adventures.
Later in the afternoon we headed out to West Marine, Bob needed a few boat supplies. The temperature is supposed to drop into the 30's tonight, glad we are at the dock and can run the heater!
Tuesday (11-29-11) morning, we haven't decided if we will travel today. It is cold and windy outside and the cabin is comfy and warm. Check back later for an update on whether we move today.
UPDATE - We decided to stay in Orange Beach until tomorrow, Wednesday. Enjoyed the Christmas tree lighting at the Wharf, see below!!
One thing we did see this morning, however, were dolphins! We are no more than 100 feet from the intercoastal, with a clear view of the waterway. Lynda saw a few dolphins and ran out to take some pictures. Dolphins are extremely hard to photograph; by the time you see them and get the camera on them, they are gone! Here are my best shots.
