Mobile here we come!

After 26 days and 1603 miles we made it to Turner Marine on Mobile Bay.  We pulled anchor about 8:15 and headed out of the bayou and down the Mobile River for 16 miles, the scenery was spectacular,  a river running through miles and miles of swamp.  We came around a  bend in the river and on the horizon were  the high rise buildings of downtown Mobile.  With a couple of more turns we were in the middle of one of the busiest sea ports in America! The winds kicked up to about 20-25 knots.  We past the port and headed out into the bay with 2 ft plus wind chop on our nose, spray was coming up and almost into the Flybridge! Putz'n Around is now a salt water boat!
We cruised 7 miles out into the bay before turning west into the channel running to Dog River and our Marina. As we entered the cut the winds where kicking up to 25 knots and hitting on the beam.  we rolled around a bit but made 4 miles back to the protected harbor in Dog River!
Wow, what a trip of a life time!  I will hold up here for 10 days as Brigitte heads home Thursday for 8 days.  When she comes back we will head for part two of our adventure and Florida!
