Orange Beach, Alabama


Shrimp Boat in Mobile Bay
Sharing the Mobile Shipping Lane!  
11/4/19       Back in Salt Water!

     We traveled across Mobile Bay about 25 miles to enter the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway.  We are finally back in salt water!  We saw dolphins jumping and shrimp boats with their casting nets out, a familiar and welcoming sight!  We happily pulled our boat right up to the dock of LuLu's Restaurant to eat lunch.  LuLu is Jimmy Buffet's sister and she has built up quite a famous place, including a restaurant, gift shop, several huge bars, a marina and a stage for Jimmy Buffet to entertain folks if you are lucky!  We  celebrated our arrival back on the ICW and being so close to home!  We stayed at The Wharf Marina, which is very nice.  It has condominiums, shops, a movie theater, restaurants, putt putt, pool, ferris wheel and even a zip line.  I am glad we are here in the off season, it is probably so crowded here in the summer months! There are many Loopers here, so we are catching up with friends.  This marina is quite a contrast to the ones we stopped at on the river systems!
