November 10, 2010 Eastern Shore Marina to Orange Beach Marina, Alabama. Today was a short run of 31 miles partly across Mobile Bay then onto the Gulf Intercoastal Waterway. We are back into unusual yard art and dolphins swimming along side the boat. I am not a good action shot photographer, so this is as good as it gets. We also passed by LuLu's, a resturant owned and operated by LuLu Buffett, Jimmy Buffett's sister. She has the Chesseburger in Paradise and great blue crab claws. We had lunch with friends Ruth and Wayne aboard High Spirits, and Richard and Jill aboard Finally. Orange Beach Marina is a very nice place to stop and catch up on BLOGS, laundry, and restocking. Orange Beach must also be one of the fishing capitals. The number of sport fishing boats is unbelievable. The boats will come in with their catches each day. The pictures of the fish below are from one boat. There are 16 Red Snapper under the Amberjack you can see. One of the Amberjack weighed in at 180lbs. The Amberjack with the bite out was due to a shark while the fish was being reeled in. We will stay here for a week to get caught up on chores after a week on the river. My inverter/charger went out and had to be sent in for repiars, hopefully it will make it back before we leave. Next onto Pensacola Florida, working our way to the end of our trip at St. Petersberg. What's Next????????
