Mobile Alabama

Well it is Saturday the 10th, the weekend already.  We got up and started back to Mobile.  I was a beautiful day and the coastal waters looked so calm.  The all cats were fine when we got back to the boat.  At least they had not killed themselves.  We still had the rental car so we decided to do some supply shopping for the boats. We go back to our boats and we all were tired so we retreated to our boats.  I made a nice dinner and we watched TV and called it a nite.

It is Sun. the 11th and Dianne and Dave have the car the today.  I made a great breakfast and then we worked on the boat for a bit.  We got the courteous car from the Marina and went for a ride.  The weather was not great and it had been raining earlier in the morning.  The cold front had definitely moved in. We drove to the east shore and stopped to tour the USS Alabama and the USS Drum submarine.  It was so much more than we had expected.  It was Veteran's Day so there were lots of people around.  It makes you stop and take stock of everything.  


We drove from there to Fairhope to see what it was all about.  They had made it up to be such a great place.  After seeing the marina we are glad that we are at Turners and not there.  On the way home we stopped at a restaurant called Felix's Fish Camp.  It was late in the day so we went in for just a munchies and a drink, but we were so surprised on the food and service.  I tried their tuna and Don ordered their spinach and lobster dip.  They were both to die for.



We stopped in town for a few supplies that Don needed and then back to the boat.  When we got back we had noticed more Looper boats had arrived.  When I went to see who was there and I notice that Carried Away with Bill & Joyce were there and Take The Plunge and two others.  Joyce had mentioned that it was her birthday.  Don and I came back to the boat and took her a big piece on Cheesecake with a candle in it and a card.  She was so surprised and happy, it was her only BDay card.  Since we had a late lunch we were not hungry for dinner.  We had some of the key lime cheesecake I made and watched TV and then called it a nite.


 I am coming down with a cold so did not want to do too much.  We did some things around the boat and Don worked in his basement (engine room).  Joyce had mentioned that some of the Looper's were going to dinner at Felix's so we said yes since we such a great meal there yesterday.  There ended up being 12 of us for dinner.  Another great nite with great friends and conversation, superbe food and service.  This whole journey has been something that we will never forget.
