11/12/2014 - Wednesday - Orange Beach Marina Play Day #2

Another great day!  We started off with some more beach time, strolling up and down enjoying the beautiful scenery before the weather starts to turn yucky.  Orange Beach reminds me of Destin and Panama City with a lot of beach for beach walking.  After our walk and a dinghy ride around Terry Cove we went back to our boats for lunch and then started putting away the dinghies.

If I was going to leave our boat in this area, I would leave it either here because you have a lot of water (dinghy, paddleboard, kayak) and land things to do or at Pensacola's Palafox Marina because of downtown proximity (they always have something going on) and you can ride your bike all over (Joe Patti's) or at the Wharf just because they have floating docks (but not much to do after a couple of days).

Ron and Linda Gerdes drove over from Palafox Marina for a visit and took us over to the Wharf so we could have Prime Rib with the rest of the group (Prime Rib Wednesday at Ginny Lane Bar and Grill, yummy!).  We checked with the Wharf office to make sure they had slips for us because Ron and Linda will be coming in on Saturday and Al and Kay will be coming along with us sometime next week.

We visited with Randy and Beth and Jerry and Susan before it was time to head to dinner.  Susan informed Josh that they will not be heading back to Texas with us so once we are at the Wharf we will look for a good weather window to head to Biloxi and New Orleans, two days of open water.

After dinner, Randy drove us back to our marina.  We had some great entertainment listening to his car navigation system.  Randy and Beth Lawson http://randbsailingadventures.wordpress.com/ are great people! If you run across them while cruising, tell them hi for us.
