Fairhope, AL – English Navy Cove, FL. - November 3, 2008

Now that it becomes dark earlier in the afternoon, we need to get an early start if we want to travel any distance during the day. We were up at 6:15 and on our way at 7.

The marina we stayed at the past 2 nights had been about midway down Mobile Bay and today we went 25 miles further before joining the ICW. On Mobile Bay we started plotting our course again and following it on the GPS – Darrell is happy! . On the Tenn-Tom Waterway all you do is keep it between the banks of the river and the red and green buoys.

We passed by Lulu’s Restaurant. Lulu, the owner, is Jimmy Buffett’s sister. It’s a popular stop because occasionally Jimmy will drop in.
Until we reach Carrabelle, FL, will be on the ICW. It’s nice to be back in salt water with barrier islands protecting us from big water. It’s also good to see sand again. There were beautiful beaches with dunes. It’s probably obvious we’re happy to be back in Florida.





We also passed Pensacola, FL. Pensacola is a large navy town, with the Pensacola Naval Air Station located there. That is the home of the Blue Angels. A couple of jets flew overhead as we passed by.












We dropped our anchor at 3:00. 65.7 miles and 8 hours.
