Fairhope, Alabama

"The Bar-B" did not want to leave too early this morning with another fairly short travel day ahead, so we pulled out of Saunders Yachtworks just after nine o'clock.  It was an uneventful 33 mile trip, of which about two thirds of it were in Mobile Bay.  It started as a light chop and progressed into a more moderate chop, but was not too bad with it being on the stern most of the time.
Impressively, "The Bar-B" pulled into slip 5 at Eastern Shore Marina before we pulled into slip 4 beside them around 2:15 p.m.  They have had belt and alternator problems for the past two days now, so it sounds like the guys are going to get to go shopping instead of the girls.  Hopefully the girls will get their turn though since we plan on staying here through the weekend.  Ray says we better enjoy this weekend, because after this we are going to be running harder/longer days to get back up to Chattanooga now that the rivers don't have the threat of flooding that they did.
