It was a beautiful sunny day with temperature around 70 when we left Eastern Shore Marina at around 9:30. The trip south across Mobile Bay took about 2 1/2 hours to get to the intracoastal waterway where we turned east and followed the marker buoys.
The trip itself was different from our previous days along the river and you could see that we are now in a more temperate climate. In fact along the waterway we saw several porpoises moving along at the head of the boat. However by the time Brenda had got the camera they had moved on, so no pictures. Different water birds and a lot of them. Brenda is very excited about this.
We arrived at a marina on Perdido Key and a couple of other boats pulled up. 5 brothers and a cousin were on one of the boats doing the Loop and the other was a guy moving his boat down from Chicago. We went into the local bar and had a few beers before we came back to the boat and I started posting these blogs. The marina is directly across from a sign welcoming us to Florida.
