We are enjoying the rest and comfort of the Fairhope Yacht Club. Yesterday we rented a car and in one afternoon we bought groceries, found a parts store to sell us new fuel filters, drove to a Bass Pro for a needed item and washed two loads of clothes. By the end of the day we were ready to take advantage of free taco night at the bar at FYC. We enjoyed the sea stories of the members. One person was named Plug! He said it was a family name? We turned in early but at 3AM we had to go outside and adjust the dock lines and add another fender. Our house was rocking. A cold front was passing and it was blowing us up against the dock. We are transients, so we always get the worse dock space. The wind on the "T" dock was on the port quarter of the boat and all that pretty rub rail that we worked so hard cleaning and waxing was getting scuffed. It's not bad to go outside and add and adjust in the wee hours as long as you know your home is safe and it is. We will go to our Thanksgiving dinner tomorrow and then Friday morning we will depart this nice place. Our next leg will take us across the panhandle of Florida. It will be nice if the weather holds.
This picture was taken Monday evening as the sun was setting over Mobile Bay.
