Day#61=Pirate's Cove, Josephine, AL

Well....I thought yesterday was stressful! Actually we got up early, forget the extra hour of sleep, so we could get a early start for the long day ahead of us. We left anchorage @ 6:30 just before sunrise. We motored through Mobile, AL which is one of the largest seaports on the Gulf Coast. It was very interesting to see the variety of commercial vessels. Scot also took pictures of the Battleship Alabama.

Next, we had to cross Mobile Bay. The weather forecast called for strong east winds gusting up to 25mph. Thank goodness our crossing only took about 3 hours, but we did get some good waves at times. It sure is great to be traveling with "Blue Angel". Thanks Jim for leading the way today and taking us to another great anchorage at Pirate's Cove. We especially enjoyed entering the Intercoastal Waterway, seeing LuLu's restaurant (Jimmy Buffet's sister), palm trees and the dophins following the wakes of the boats. After anchoring in the cove, we took the dinghy to a near by restaurant that served delicious hamburgers. We spent some quality time talking with Jim and Sharon about the last couple of days on the river. Looking forward to a good nights rest with an extra hour of sleep!
