We arrived in Mobile, Alabama on Monday, November 12th, two months to the day after we left Green Bay. It felt like a major milestone! Seeing the open water was almost intimidating after being on the rivers for so long with land so close on both sides of the boat. This picture is looking back at Mobile and two of the boats we were traveling with.
Mobile is a major seaport with lots of cargo ships being loaded, tows and tugboats. There was a lot of turbulence while making our way to Dog River Marina on the western shore of the Bay.
We passed by the Mobile Convention Center on our way into Mobile Bay. We felt like we were so far from civilization at the anchorage the night before but we were only 3 hours from this.
A fishing boat in Mobile Bay. This was our first sighting of Brown Pelicans. They can have a wing span of up to 6 1/2 ft and dive bill first into the water for fish.
We stayed at the Dog River Marina one night then moved next door to Turner's where we'll have the mast put back where it belongs. We'll be there a week or so. I hope to put some pictures of that momentous event on the blog next time. Again..... GO PACKERS!!!
