"Wooah dudes look at that hottie!!"
Hello Everyone!
We had a perfect travel day as we entered Mobile AL where the Tombigbee River dumps into the bay. You could literally see about where the river ended and saltwater began. The porpoise playing around the bow of our boat gave us the sure sign that we were in blue water!! Amazing sight to see. As posted in the last blog, boaters said we would see a little porpoise play but I took it with a "grain of salt" at the time. But sure enough I was like a giddy kid pointing in every direction! I was taking some video trying to catch one surfacing. I caught the dorsal fin briefly on one video but it was so quick it is not really worth posting. Hopefully I will get a second chance for some good "footage".
Due to that big storm that came up from the West coast of Cuba and covered the east coast with rain last night (Tuesday); we are in port at Turner Marina to wait out a little amount of wind that occurred here. This will give us a chance to get some general cleaning and finally get that river mud off the boat!! We should have ideal conditions to head South again on Thursday where there is only projected to be a light breeze on that day. We will be entering the Intercoastal Waterway on the east side of Mobile Bay at the Bon Secour/Oyster Bay area which will be our "road" all the way to our final destination in South Carolina. We are so pumped to experience all the sights Florida will soon have for us! Panama City beaches on the panhandle, traveling around the bend to the white sands of Clearwater, the history of St. Petersburg, and then possibly the keys if lake Okeechobee is too shallow to cut across the state. We have never been to Miami and I can not wait to see how the Intercoastal Waterway brings us by the city skyline. Hopefully we will be able to get a courtesy car long enough from the marina we will stay at to hit a little Miami night life!! "Welcome to Miami"...
A shout out to Terry & Shawna Sikkema for letting us borrow the complete seasons of "Burn Notice" before we left port. The show ROCKS!! Since we do not have TV reception on the go, the DVD player and Netflix instant is getting abused. Netflix is not making a dime off of me this last 30 days!! A general shout out to all family and friends, we miss all of you and can not wait to share all of our "salty dog" stories soon!
Take care everyone and enjoy the rest of the week!
