I would offer a suggestion to the Michigander looking to lay over in Pensacola in september: Bob austin is of course the guru for that area (and most others) but this is supposed to be another big year for hurricanes and September is the height of the season. Do yourselves a favor and stop instead in Demopolis where there is a good yard. While I am brand new here on the eastern Shore of Mobile Bay, I know the marina here is all but full and nOT safe in a hurricane. Dog River in Mobile has several offerings but it too is not safe. AS you will learn, Demopolis is still 4 days at 7 kn north with nothing in between, but it does have an airport i'm told. They have a very good yard and haulout facility. You will be pleased with them.
