Early September 2016 we hauled Cloud Nine 800 miles down to Gulf Shores, Alabama. We stayed 10 days at Lulu's Homeport Marina. The Marina is located at
Mile Marker: GIWW 155.0 mi. EHL by water or 200 E 25th Ave, Gulf Shores, AL 36542 by land.
We cruised from Lulu's to Mobile bay to the west and Perdido Pass to the east. We also used it as a home base to drive to Biloxi and New Orleans.
Here we are headed towards Perdido Pass and my first foray into the gulf. Perdido Pass is a busy narrow pass with strong currents. It was actually a bit scary for a river rat like me.
Here we are returning to Lulu's from Mobile Bay. Lulu is Jimmy Buffet's sister and along with the Marina there is an outside play area for kids and the Bar\Restaurant with live entertainment. This place stays busy.
Got a kick out of our neighbor "Blue Heron" They had a Great Blue Heron fishing off of their dock finger most every day we were there.
Heading west to Oyster Bay to watch the sunset.
Sunsets on the water are one of nature's most beautiful settings.
The evolution of our cockpit surround. We bought a hanging shower enclosure and found that if we unzipped it completely it provided privacy for about half the cockpit. We purchased a second one and zipped them together, providing privacy for the entire cockpit. It still needs a little bit of tweaking.
