Dec. 10      The Wharf     GICW 160     32 miles

We untied from the dock at 7:45 and headed across Mobile Bay.  It was forecast to be 5-8 winds but actually was 10-15.  Our boat does not like a falling sea and with the current and the tide going together, we rocked and rolled.  Our couch was in the center of the salon but nothing got broken. It was quite the experience for the crew. They were glad to get to the Lagoon and to the Wharf.  Our friend Jerry Reichstetter came aboard for lunch. Brenda has made an awesome salad.  The girls went shopping at the Wharf and Jerry took Roy and I to their new home in Gulf Shores.  Rosemary, his wife, was not feeling well but we did get to visit with here for awhile and renew all times.  Roy and Jerry started the Harbor Village Yacht Club in Aug. 1989 and we have boated together and been close friends ever since. Jerry took us to this local restaurant for a delicious Italian dinner.  It was so good to see them. The girls stayed at the Wharf, went ice skating, window shopping and a little bar hopping.
