We finally took some time to relax. We drove down to Dauphin Island. It is a beach and resort island about 25 miles south of the marina we are in. We did a tour of Fort Gaines. Fort Gaines is a Civil war era fort that was used to protect Mobile Bay. It is on the west side of the Mobile Bay entrance and Fort Morgan is on the east side of the Mobile Bay entrance. The fort was occupied by the confederates until a battle in August of 1864 when the northern Navy and Army overwhelmingly defeated the southern army garrisoned there.
We then went to a place near the docks where the shrimp boats come in and were able to purchase shrimp at a rediculously low price.
I need to get my camera out so I can start photographing our travels.
