Shell Island - Summer 2011

We enjoy going to Shell Island. It is less then an hour to our favorite anchorage and the water is what you find in the islands. The island is only about 150 yards wide from the Bay to the Gulf.


 The sunsets over the Gulf are so beautiful you can not cease to be amazed.
Vickie's Brother came over to visit. He is back from Afghanistan. We we hoisted his kayak up on top of the sundeck with our new davit and took it out to the island with us.  He had a blast, even the dogs got in on the action.

Labor Day - Tropical Storm Lee

We had planned on a taking a very long weekend and going to Orange Beach, Alabama to the Wharf but Tropical Storm Lee had other ideas. We spent the Labor Day Holiday at the dock with some extra lines riding out the storm. We had gusts up to 60 knots and tides about 1 1/2 ft above normal.
