Mar. 22 – Dauphin Island, AL

Day 16 – Greetings from Alabama

West end of Dauphin Island – Anchorage

We left our cute little town this morning and headed for Alabama. We only went 35 miles today. We are anchored on the end of Dauphin Island, which is a barrier island south of Mobile Bay. The area we are in is very remote and quiet. We dropped the anchor around noon, had lunch and then took the dinghy down and went beachcombing. The water is pretty clear, but it's the color of ice tea. As we approached the beach I could see stingrays swimming in the water. 

We walked over to the gulf beach and looked for shells. Most of what we found were like the ones we get at home, except they seemed thicker and the predominant colors were yellow and orange.
