Orange Beach Marina

Hello All,

Kris and I had a wonderful night at "The Wharf". There are some really nice restaurants and a first class movie theater nearby, so we decided to partake in the local entertainments. The next day our group left under a cloudy and windy sky for our short three hour trip to Orange Beach Marina.

The approach into the marina is challenging even for the experienced yachtsman. There are numerous opportunities to veer off course and find yourself grounded on a sand bar. We were fortunate to be number 2 in line while we followed Our Turn (Al and JoAnn Barr).

We found our new home for the next several months (Slip L-10) and got all tied up with electrical, water and cable TV connected. Just in time for me to repack and head for the airport.

Kris has now returned to Somerville while I went back to work. We will return to Orange Beach after the Holiday and stay until mid April.

Thanks for keeping up with us as we made our trek Southward. I hope it was enjoyable following along as it was for us to experience such a wonderful trip. Thanks to good weather, good boat and of course GREAT friends, this trip was amazingly fun!

Please keep in touch.

All the best,

Rusty
