Up early again today.  Jerry needed more hot glue for the holding tank so we decided to go out for breakfast.  Went to a local place called Dick Russell BBQ, recommended by the guy that runs the fuel dock.  I looked it up on Yelp.  Really bad reviews for BBQ but raves for breakfast.  WOW, great food, homemade biscuits with fresh peach preserves and the pancakes were good too.  Loaded up on carbs.

Got the glue and went back to the marina.  Jerry finished with the holding tank and by then they were ready to pull the boat.  We are having the props balanced. 

After the boat is out, we went to Enterprise to rent a car for the trip to Atlanta.  We had heard Fairhope, AL was a neat little town to visit so we went across the bay to check it out.  On the way over we saw the USS Alabama which we want to tour.  Not this trip, but after we get back from Atlanta maybe.  So Fairhope is this quiet little town all dressed up for Christmas.  We drove along the water, then parked and walked  the main streets.  Lots of little shops to look at.  We were looking for this one restaurant and finally stopped to ask about it.  It was closed so asked for a recommendation.  The lady sent us to the Gumbo Shack, a dive looking place, not easy to find.  Pretty good stuff.

Back to the boat and packed for the trip.
