Friday. Woo Hoo!
Miles Traveled-69.5
Total Miles Traveled-802
Day 41
Another great night on the hook.. Tucked away off the main channel away from night barge traffic. We felt safe and secure. There were two other boats besides Knot Yet and Harvest Moon. Four boats and plenty of room.
Again, knowing we had 65 plus miles to go.. We started out at first light. We spotted this guy swimming across the river.. It's a deer.. Glad there were no gators to get him!
The river is simple and beautiful!
We knew we were getting closer to civilization and industry.
We had only a slight delay as this CSX Railroad Bridge was down and a train crossing.. When the train passed... Up went the lift bridge.
Yep, the terrain is changing!
We now see Mobile Bay!!!
Careful for what you wish for... We were tiring of the river and all its twists and turns.. But I must say it has very little traffic . NOW...We are in where it's BIG and BUSY!
Buster likes to check it all out!
Keeping an eye out!
The Convention Center downtown Mobile.
Another great weather day!
A lot going on!
Yeah!!! The open water of the Bay!!! This is where Harvest Moon goes to the west shore and we turn to the East Shore.. They have been wonderful to travel with these last couple of days.. We look forward to seeing them again.
We felt honored by our flying friends escort to the east side!
And then.... WOW!!! These guys came along and put on a show for us!!
Buster was impressed!
They swam along the side of our bost for about 20-30 minutes.. They would jump out of the water!
It was spectacular! We felt truly blessed by such a warm welcoming to salt water!!!
Great pictures! What an experience. Are y'all going to stay put for a few days or push on through with the storm? Polly
