From Mobile to Ingram Anchorage to Destin Florida

The 30 plus mile trip down Mobile Bay took about 3 1/2 hours.  On the panhandle we saw yet another face of the state of Alabama as we pulled into our beautiful Ingram anchorage.  Jayne and I savored the surroundings as we enjoyed a cocktail on the bridge before retiring.
Whoops!  We had left the refrigerator on overnight draining one of the batteries; as a result we weren't able to start the starboard motor and used one engine for the whole trip to Destin.  We will test the battery and either buy a new one or find the problem. 
The trip today was one of contrasts with the national seashore on the right ( no buildings ) and the plentiful winter homes on the left side.
Pensacola is a great tourist area, offering great fishing and cultural activities; this will be another town to explore at a later date.  The Naval Air Station Museum is another  important attraction which draws many people to the area.
