Today we stayed at the marina for a day of rest and a shopping trip into Mobile, AL. A trip to West Marine and Sam’s for a few supplies. John picked up a chip for the Gulf coast and Florida around the keys and up the East coast.
Early morning shrimper heading out for his catch Their catch
That morning Bill from Full circle talked to the crew of the Shrimp boat and ordered 30-40 pounds of shrimp. We got our catch about 3:00 and then we had the be-heading of the beauties. I have never done this before and no problem. We had fresh boiled shrimp that evening. It was delicious.
Happy hour at “The Table of Knowledge ” at Grand Mariner Marina. We heard the story of Andy as he displayed a whittled gift commemorating the John Kennedy funeral, in which he led the Riderless Horse. He served in the 1st Alabama Infantry, ” Grand Old Guard” We told him what an honor but he said it was his job.
Another beautiful sunset from the back of our boat overlooking Dog River. I am amazed of the beautiful sunsets we have seen. Can’t wait to see our next one overlooking the bay.
