Roberts Bayou Anchorage ICW mile 165, to The Wharf Marina mile 155
11 miles today
The weather front broke up before passing over us so we didn't have any problems ar anchor last night the wind was pretty strong and it did rain some but the anchor held tight. Today is another windy and rainy day so we left Roberts Bayou at 7:30 it was windy and cool we arrived at the Wharf about 9:00 and tied up in our slip. This is a very niche Marina it is part of The Wharf Complex in Orange beach Alabama there are shops and restaurants and many other activities on the development and nearby. The marina is right next to the ICW it has floating docks which are easy to tie to, the facilities are very nice..
Our friends Ted and Mona from Mobile keep their boat at this marina also. They drove down so we had a nice visit and a glass of wine on their boat before driving to a nearby restaurant for lunch with them. On the way back to the marina we stopped at a Publix grocery store to pick up some things we needed.
The forecast calls for high winds and thunderstorms for the next few days so we may be here till things clear up.
