I called Orange Beach marina, they wanted 350 bucks to unlaod my boat off trailer, and load it back the next day.

Would not let me park there, unless I paid for the unloading.

holly sh*t.

have you tried barbers marina, they are on the ICW. Its a bit further drive, but dam.

Marina Road launch is a good launch I use it all the time right next to the house.
Calypso's is closed. Other great restaurants Tacky Jacks, Happy Harbor and Cobalts. If you park at the Warf there are several restaurants to pick from. Pirates Cove is a must!!

I have a LIST of places to see, and go, but still nothing solid on parking truck and trailer.

Boggy point is a maybe but legally over night parking is not allowed. BUT several have said they do it... but not sure i want to chance being stuck like that.

may look into something around the pensacola side. I hear Fort Mcee is the place to be.

They dont have a ramp. and they dont really offer trailer lift service on busy weekends... and if so 10 bucks a foot.

SHerman Cove Marina, on base will let me launch and park over night. so that's my best bet, I am a GOV contractor so they said I am allowed to use it, as long as i have my ID.

May stay in FORT MCree cove that night. sucks I am on the far side of the LONG no wake zone though.

I could go to pensacola instead of orange beach though. how long does it take to get through that no wake?

launch at Marina Dr and leave truck and trailer there.
lunch at Pirates Cove
eat dinner at Cobalt inside Caribe Resort.
beach your boat on Robinson Island and enjoy your night.

all of these places are within 5 miles of each other.

Ill be there from Saturday to Tuesday. enjoy.
