At 3:30 p.m. yesterday we pulled into our assigned slip at Eastern Shores Marina on Mobile Bay. It was hard to believe that we were really here. Peanut was also very excited to see land as she had not been off the boat for four days. After securing lines and hooking up the electric we walked out onto the little beach area and shared a toast as the sun set over the Bay. Later we visited with several other boaters who had arrived just before us. One of the gals said " I still can't believe our little boat came across that big Bay", we all quietly looked across the Bay and nodded. Today we rode our bikes into the town of FairHope about 3 miles from the Marina. It is definitely a don't miss place to visit if you get down this way. I loved their shops and Tom the raw oysters. I guess it was a good thing we were on bikes, as I had to limit my purchases which pleased Tom. As much as I enjoyed anchoring out, I must admit it is much easier sleeping when your tied to a dock! Now that I have internet service again I will spend the next few days filling in the gaps in my posts from Demopolis to Mobile.
