We awoke to another foggy morning in Biloxi.  Our weather apps assured us the fog would pass soon and be clear out in the bay.  It held true for as you can see, the fog remained floating over the casinos as we pulled out.

    

Into the Mississippi Sound there seemed to be an interesting phenomenon – we call “a cloud rainbow” in our wake.  Notice the red marker in the arch of the cloud bow.

    

As we proceeded on what we thought would be a beautiful clear day, at noon we ran into an unexpected fog bank.  It slowed us to a crawl for a number of miles but eventually we left it in our wake.

    

We made good time at 29.9 SOG (speed over ground) across Mobile Bay but were slowed dramatically as we entered the Intracoastal Gulf Waterway (IGW).

    

As opposed to Texas and Louisiana, this area is far less commercial and more residential, therefore, a low-wake speed is the only courteous way to travel.  Many restaurants such as LuLu’s (Jimmy Buffett’s sister) are found along the waterway.

    

Ultimately we arrived at our destination, The Wharf, in Orange Beach, Alabama.  This is a very upscale resort and entertainment development.

    

We are tucked in at The Wharf Marina, secure among the (once again) “big boats” which dwarf our beloved Kara Mia!  But it is good to be tucked in – safe from the currents, winds, concrete walls and fog.
