NOLA was supposed to be our last “tourist destination” before heading to Mobile for the mast stepping appointment. Well, turns out it was not; we forgot to inform the weather gods of our plans…
It started out with a benign anchorage at Cat Island, the first of many barrier islands we will visit on the Gulf Coast.
Day 2 should have brought us to Dauphine Island… instead, we wound up in…
… where we would spend 2 days exploring the neighborhood. And eating ice cream for dessert each night. Our marina was next to the Golden Nugget Casino and who knew that casinos had more goodies than just the slot machines (those were annoying; the ice cream was delicious)!🤣
The Hurricane Katrina Memorial
The Ohr-O’Keefe Museum of Art. Also a perfect picture of why we are in Biloxi…
This is one of the current exhibits: a radio station which broadcasts the weather… as sounds. It was weird.
Hee Joo Yang’s ‘The Caves’
Bradley Sabin’s ‘Botanica”
Can’t credit the artist but I liked the colors and the scale…🙃
Carlos Estévez’ ‘Palimpsest/Rewritings
As we were running a day behind for the mast stepping, we decided to try and make at least half the distance to Mobile. Definitely NOT one of our better traveling days… every cracker on board was reduced to crumbs.
