Our marina, Homeport Marina, is east of Mobile and south of Foley, Alabama, so today we had to make a trip into town to buy some supplies. Foley was our choice. We thought getting away from the beaches would result in lower prices. Not exactly, the food bill was still high. It was nice to get off the boat but then we discovered all the traffic and were happy to get back aboard. It rained here most of the morning so it was good that we were tied to a dock, even if it was behind Lulu's Restaurant. Tomorrow we leave for the river system. Our first is the Mobile River which will take us past downtown Mobile and then on to the Tom Bigbee River which will take us to Demopolis. That will be our next stop and it is about 4 days away. We will be away from wifi until then so stay tuned.
We had supper with Bob and Norma. They have been such a big help to us. It will be the last time we see them for awhile. Also joining us were Steve and Betty Fry, who live in the area. I had not seen either of them in a couple decades. I first met them when we were in the Navy in Memphis. There is something really good about seeing old friends again. Denniese enjoyed meeting my friends from another era.
