John Your asked about where to leave the boat in Mobile Bay. I have used Eastern Shore Marine in Fairhope Al several times and have been pleased. Fairhope is a lovely town with restaurants and entertainment. The alternative is Dog River on the western shore of Mobile Bay but I don't think the area compares to Fairhope. The Mobile area has more going for it than the Pensacola area (unless you are military). I would check the air flights out of both locations for convenience, unless you are planning to drive back home. Marty Campanella Bay Pelican KK42
