The Wharf Marina ICW mile 158 to Lulu's Homeport Marina ICW mile 155
3 miles today.
This morning out friend Ted from Mobile came down to the Wharf to do some work on his boat which is also at the marina. He loaned us his car to go pick up some last minute items from the grocery store. After lunch with Ted we got our boat ready and left the Wharf for Lulu's at 2:15 pm. Lulu is Jimmy Buffett's sister and her restaurant and marina are a landmark around here. It was a short trip, only 3 miles, but after almost a week at the wharf we are ready for a change of scenery. Lulu's is a very nice facility, but a bit distant from anything else, the restaurant is very good, the marina is first class too. We had dinner before the big crowds arrived, it is a busy place usually full at noon and dinner every day.
The plan is to leave here early Tuesday morning to try and get as far across Mobile Bay before the winds pick up, we are hoping for light winds the bay and Mississippi sound can get very uncomfortable when it is windy. We will be heading almost due West all day tomorrow. Gulfport, Mississippi is our planned destination but if we don't get that far we will stop in Biloxi.

There was a wedding at he marina last night the happy couple left on this boat, It must have been a good party one guy (not the groom) fell off the dock into the water and there were wine glasses on the dock the next morning.
Reef builders location near the wharf the stone "pyramids" and the ship will wind up as artificial reefs out on the Gulf bottom somewhere off the coast.
Arriving at Lulu's, this is the restaurant overlooking the ICW. Boaters can tie up at the dock to go in for lunch or get fuel at the dock on the right side.
There are some nice boats at the docks, this is a steel trawler cruiser
A nice sailboat
