Dog River Marina to Ingram Bayou Anchorage

Friday, December 12, 2014: Very calm morning on Mobile Bay. Got going by 06:25 with a outgoing mid tide. Had plenty of water under us; at least for the bay; about 4' on average. It took us 50 minutes to go from the marina to the shipping channel. Then it took 2 hours to go from the shipping channel to R124 on the ICW and then another hour and 15 minutes to go from R124 to Lu Lu’s restaurant for lunch. Had a fabulous lunch of crab claws, shrimp, and clams. After passing Lu Lu’s by for the last 5 years we decided to stop and we enjoyed it. After lunch we went another hour and 10 minutes to our anchorage at Ingram Bayou, Mile 164.0 on the ICW. This is one of our favorite anchorages; so peaceful and quiet. We got here about 13:30 and just relaxed the rest of the day.

CO's comments.  Wonderful to back on the water.  Bow thrusters are nice to have, but if you know your boat, you can get along without one.
