Sorry for the delay in getting a post to you, but we've been pushing through the Black Warrior Waterway, but now we are back to civilization.
Mobile has been our initial target as we complete the first leg of the Northern Light 2008-2009 Loop. We crossed the 00 landmark around 3:30 PM and docked at Turner around 5:30 PM. We were excited about reaching this goal, and salutes, high 5's and congratulations over the phone from our wives. More than 1650 miles from Northern Michigan to Mobile.
You will see from the photos that the size boat has changed dramatically when looking at giant international based freighters competing for the same space as our 40 ft sailboat. The other boat is a shrimp boat, and Mobile lies in the distance.
The Yacht Club is a short walk for dinner, but we had a celebratory vodka and tonic on the boat. We earned it!
