Home in Ely

We left our anchorage at Briar Creek and wandered down the last 20 miles or so to Mobile and then Dog River Marina on the west side of Mobile Bay. There had beena cold front with north winds for the past 3 days and the wind blew the water out of Mobile Bay. It is shallow on good days, but when we got to the marina, we couldn't get into the slip, not enough water so they put us on a face dock for 2 days until the water came up and then moved to a more permnent location where the boat will sit until the end of January. Dog River Marina is  boat yard as well with lots of maintenance stuff going on. Huge buildings for housing boats while they are worked on. We arrived on Saturday and then did chores and got the boat ready to leave. We got an Uber and flew home on Wednesday morning early, flights went well and got to Duluth around 5:30 with Barry picking us up. We'll return the end of January after skiing, hockey and getting our grandkid titer up.

Resting at Dog River for a couple of months
