We wanted to take full advantage of our time at the marina in Dog River so we were on our way at 7 am.
Coming into Mobile was a bit of a shock to the system seeing all the industry and all the “bustling about” after being so long on the river. The last real metro area for us would have been Chattanooga back in early August.
As we left the river and entered Mobile Bay, we began to see signs of being back in the saltwater; such as, seagulls and pelicans. We kept our eyes open for dolphin, but saw none.
Just before noon, we were at Dog River Marina fueling up and securing ourselves in our slip. The marina was pretty quiet yet as the bulk of cruisers wouldn’t be coming down to the Gulf until November 1st. After a little lunch, we borrowed the courtesy car and went to Walmart for groceries. Back on the boat, we put our purchases away, gathered up a couple of drinks, lowered the dinghy and traveled the few hundred feet across the bay to Grand Mariner Marina where we met our friends, Bill and Dorothy, for happy hour. We first met Bill and Dorothy at Snook Bight Marina in Ft Myers Beach last winter. They keep their boat, m/v Full Circle, at the Grand Mariner Marina all summer.
