The Wharf

10/29/14
We left Dog River Marina late because we weren't planning on going too far. The weather was perfect and it was absolutely beautiful crossing Mobile Bay. Fish were jumping everywhere, pelicans were splashing down into the water and dolphins were playing in our wake. We are so glad to be off the rivers!

From Mobile Bay we went into the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway (GIWW). Then we headed to Lulu's Restaurant where we had lunch with our friends from Average Looper & Navigator. Lulu is Jimmy Buffett's sister. After lunch we all headed to The Wharf Marina. Once we were all docked, we had cocktails on Navigator. At the Wharf there's lot's of shops, restaurants, a ferris wheel, and a movie theater. None of us has been anywhere near a movie theater in a long time so we agreed to go and see any movie that was playing. We ended up seeing Gone Girl, which we all enjoyed.

Tomorrow we'll make a short hop to Pirate's Cove Restaurant and sample their famous hamburgers & Bushwacker drinks.


Perfect day on Mobile Bay
