Saunders Yachtworks

Yesterday afternoon was fun taking all of us; Barbara, Cliff, Heidi and the two of us to shore in our dinghy.  Heidi collected seashells, Cliff took pictures and video including a sting ray that swam right towards him in knee deep water.  That was one of three we saw, along with hermit crabs.  The sand dunes were pretty and all of our bare feet loved the soft, white sand.  After shrimp creole for dinner on the boat, we took the dinghy back out to fish.  Caught one lady fish, but mostly played with the pods of dolphins.  Finally took some sunset and boat pictures before retiring kind of early.  About an hour after being in bed, a Florida Wildlife Officer approached our boat to tell us our solar yard light was not bright enough for an anchor light.
In no hurry for a short travel day, we got up and made breakfast before our nine o'clock departure.  It was not long at all before we were in Alabama.  Nineteen miles and three hours later we pulled into Saunders Yachtworks.
After waiting about 45 minutes at LuLu's Restaurant, where we dinghied to for dinner, and then found out it was family night, all six of us had a bad meal and we all ordered something different.  Nothing had any flavor.  We were originally making fun of the bag of Golden Flake potato chips that came with some meals.  Come to find out, those were the only things worth having.
Across the ICW is Tacky Jack's there in Orange Beach/Gulf Shores, Alabama.  We wondered why it was practically empty and LuLu's was so packed.  LuLu's did have a great band playing.  When we got to Tacky Jack's though, it was karaoke night.  We thought that might have been the problem, although it did not end up being the worst we have ever heard, it was certainly not the best either.  Ray & I have made a decision that it is not worth stopping at Saunders any more.
