May 8, 2015 Wharf at Gulf Shores icw 165

When we pulled anchor there was lots of mud on the anchor so were glad we had our wash down working.We left our anchorage at Ingram Bayou about 7:30 and when we entered the ICW, it was pea soup fog.  So we idled for about 30 minutes while the sun burned off the fog.  We could not get the Wharf  Marina on the radio so just pulled into the slip we had been in last fall.  Hooked up and could not get the power to come on so went to talk with the dockmaster and were told that since they tore down the Marina office to build a high rise, they had to shut down the first four rows of power in the marina and we would have to move over to the slips behind the condos.  So we unplugged and moved over to G89.  They were very good about helping us getting relocated.  We had gone 6 miles.


Our Hampstead Yacht Club friends, Jerry and Rosemary Reighstetter, that have relocated to Gulf Shores from Raleigh came over about 9 for Roy’s omelets.  


Jerry and Roy took off to Lowes and Rosemary took Joann and Elvie to see the beach, shopping and then for a few groceries and back to boat.  About 5:30 Jerry picked us up and took us to their beautiful home in Craft Farms for a yummy roast beef dinner.  It was so much fun talking about all our past boating days with them in Hampstead.
