| Good-bye to Turner Marina |
We were awakened around 6:00AM to the sound of boat motors. Which means the Looper's are on the move again and the water levels must be better. Don got up to see if he could help but they were already on the move. I took a glance at Don from the comfort and warmth of my blankets in bed and saw he was pacing with that look in his eyes, so I got up and said lets go, now.... So in last than 10 minutes I was dressed and we had disconnected the water and hydro and all the lines but the bow. The next thing I heard was Don saying to release the bow line and we were gone 6:50AM.... It was another beautiful morning as we say good-bye to Turner Marine. They were all very hospitable and we enjoyed our time there. It felt good to get under way. We were on our own again at last, just the two or should I say the four of us... There was very little traffic as we crossed Mobile Bay and headed for the intracoastal waterway. It was a little choppy when we started but became calmer as we went along. We only had a short distance to go today, approx. 30 miles to the Wharf Marina at mile 158.8.

| The Wharf Marina |
It was to early to stop at Lulu's for lunch, so we will have to do it another time. As we pasted Saunders Marina we saw Larry walking Ms. Peaches. What are the chances of that... Just a short distance from that was The Wharf Marina in Orange Beach, Alabama. Quite impressive to look at as you approach with the condo complex behind it. We got in and tied up with no problem. Went for a walk and there was a small mall and many restaurants and even a large movie theater. We stopped at Baumhower's Sports Bar and Restaurant for lunch. It was a very large and had soooo many TV's. We had burgers and drinks and it was good. Even better than that, they gave us a two for one entree specials because we were staying at the Marina. As we got back to the boat we heard Carried Away on the radio and they were going to stay at The Wharf so we asked the Marina if they could be put beside us. We went over to their boat for cocktails. It was the first time on their boat and it was lovely. They had so much room and closet space. I think they have more than we do at home. Joyce had made a great cheese dip, yummy. Bill and Don talked electronics while Joyce showed me around. Each boat you see has something different to offer, but it is fun to see them all.... Came back to our boat and I made dinner. We were going to go to see the new James Bond but I did not feel great, and with a cold and coughing a movie theater is not the place to be. So we watched a little TV and called it a nite....
