Mobile Area paddler Rob Nykvist has been out and around Dauphin Island in his kayak again recently.
Remember late last year when Sand Island, also known as Pelican Island, had grown to intersect the Dauphin Island Fishing Pier? We enjoyed the idea of building stairs from the end of the pier to the sand below. Well that no longer looks like it was such a good idea. Rob's photos clearly shows that Sand Island is now no easy walk from the Dauphin Island Fishing Pier.
One of the photos on Rob's site also offers a good view from the waters of the Gulf of Mexico of the Holiday Isle condo development in progress. The Dauphin Island Beach Club and The Inn at Dauphin Island are the condo buildings immediately to the left, or west, of the Holiday Isle construction site.
You can see more of Rob's photos and the story that goes with them at his web site, Kayaking the Mobile-Tensaw River Delta
