Our DHT (delayed honeymoon trip)

[Star0210]

Day 1 - Saturday the 4th. No go. Yucky weather all day. So we hung out on the boat at the marina. I pouted and took a nap. Then David decided to clean out the rats nest of old TV and audio electronics from previous owner that was cluttering up an entire valuable cabinet space. Then we went and bought a new tv.
Btw, these pictures were taken over a span of about 3-4 minutes.

The attempt at de-cluttering.

Day 2 - we are on our way. Stopped at the Rigolets for fuel and headed to Bay St. Louis. Will stay there tonight and head out tomorrow for Pensacola. We are currently waiting on the railroad bridge to open.

I never get tired of taking pictures of the lighthouse.

How many days do you have for your trip? Do you have a turn-around point in mind?

Wow that cloud in Saturdays pictures looks dangerous, good idea to stay put. You all have a great trip! Gulfport's marina is real nice too.

 

[Wxx3]

Very nice pictures.
thank you for sharing.

 

[Drake]

If you have time, consider a side trip to Singing River Yacht Club in Pascagoula.

It was one of the most ominous skies I’ve ever seen and it went through so fast.
The bad weather stuck around all day but nothing like these pictures.

Where in the world is the Sea Star?
And what a pretty view at night!

Smart move delaying your start. Those were some nasty looking clouds. Have a safe trip.

Do yall plan on stopping in Bay St. Louis on the way back.
My wife and I will be staying Friday and Saturday night for our 15 year anniversary.
We would love to meet yall and pick your brains for a little while.

 

[menzies]

Thanks for posting your trips. Keep it up.

And tell the hubby, think of rain as free water, get out there and wash the boat!

We do plan on stopping back overnight in Bay St. Louis. It will likely be Friday.
Harbormaster Chuck said we could have the same slip if we came back and that was pier 2-slip 11.

Lol. He had just washed it the evening before!
The water yesterday turned my swim platform a nasty yellow color. I scrubbed and scrubbed with boat wash, non skid cleaner, tried dishwashing detergent. Nothing was getting it clean. The captain of the beautiful sport fish next to us had some stuff and he used it on my swim platform and it worked! I’m trying to find where David put the bottle so I can see what it’s called because we need to buy some.

Yesterday we traveled from Bay St. Louis to Orange beach. It was a beautiful day. We ended up at the Whatf and looks like we will stay here until Thursday before heading home.
There’s a concert here tonight and the slip rent is $5.00/ft! Tomorrow night it goes back to normal. I don’t even know who’s playing!
We had some delicious oysters last night at a restaurant here. We met a guy who has a boat here who lives in our town! Small world. I’m going to see if I can rent a car for a few days to go back and forth to the beach. Probably cheaper than ubering.

Try Bar Keepers Friend...wet down...sprinkle some on and brush to distribute.
If its similar to the yellow stains I'm familular with it takes a mild acid to whiten. Bar keepers contains oxalic acid.

Enjoy the trip.

Thanks...I will try that next time also.
The stuff the friendly Captain used is called Whink rust stain remover.

Sounds great! Looking forward to meeting you.

We ended up not leaving yesterday as we had planned because the weather was pretty crappy. I didn’t mind.it got me another day at the beach! The weather is much better today. Will be heading out shortly to begin the trip home.
We’ve had a great time here in Orange beach.

Came by Saturday night and you must have been out at dinner. We ended up meeting the people on the Prairie in the slip to the left of the sport fisher yall were docked next to. After talking to them for a while they invited us to come aboard and look at the boat. While I was drooling over the amount of space in the stand up engine room my wife was on the front deck talking to the Admiral. As we were walking back to the road my wife asked when we were going to buy a boat.

Those clouds are quite astonishing. Never seen anything so defined and ominous. Simply amazing. Thank you - and have a great trip.
