I took a look again at the 10 day
weather forecast and it still looks like Wednesday and Thursday of next
week will be low wind around this area, then picking back up all the way
through the 24th. We need at least three good low wind days to get to
New Orleans, one day to move to the Wharf, one day to Biloxi and one day
to New Orleans. Both Mobile Bay and the Mississippi Sound are open water
and if the wind is blowing 10+ knots we stay put!
Around 10:30 we
hopped on our bikes and headed back to town for some more exploring. As we were heading out, I told Kay and Al that
the weather is going to get yucky again until sometime next week and Kay
said because today is a beautiful day let's go to The Wharf this afternoon and be with the rest of
the group. She said if the weather is going to be that yucky, why not be
with the others. We can't do anything outside anyway regardless of where we are.
We road our bikes over to the beach to look around, then over to a clothing store and to a BBQ place for lunch. The place was so good! I never had cole slaw on a chicken sandwich before. During lunch we decided that if Orange Beach Marina would give us a weekly discount we would stay. If not we would leave and head back to The Wharf, they both cost the same. There was no weekly rate, so we loaded up the bikes, checked for sand in the strainers, prepared the boat for traveling and headed out around 1:15 PM. Exiting Orange Beach Marina was a piece of cake! All you needed to do is remember "red right return"! When leaving the marina, the greens were on our right all the way to the bridge, then hug the bridge and turn towards the ICW with "red right return" all the way. We had plenty of water and never ran aground! Our welcoming committee, Ron, Linda, Randy and Beth helped us dock and welcomed us back with the group. This time we were docked at a different place than before so Teak was a little confused!

Our last bike ride around Orange Beach
Bye Bye Orange Beach - I will miss this place!
Heading to The Wharf we passed this boat towing a shell of a boat
