We decided that the next couple of days would be great days to anchor out so we headed back west but when we got to the anchorage there were too many boats already there so we headed to Orange Beach Marina. The trip to the pass was nice weather and calm water. We had been given written directions to follow to the marina with lots of twists and turns. There was good water with only a few skinny spots until we turned west along the bridge. The directions were not really clear and we went to far west instead of turning immediately to the north and Josh and Barb hit ground and stopped. They were able to back off and we turned around and followed the plainly marked channel to the marina. We were pushing it to get there by dark and when we arrived the slips we were given had short piers and would not work... so they put us into a covered slips...
Well it was a first time for us to be in covered slips. After spending the night under cover we decided that we preferred to be out in the open air. It felt like we were living in a parking garage. So, we had them move us.
Our slips were on t-heads just across from the marina office/fuel dock.
Note Cambria and Last Trade are on the T-heads... now look at the huge boats around the corner
This is the Maria Office and fuel dock - note the 1st boat. it is a "party" boat
All settled in we were ready to enjoy the area.
