It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Florida

October 28-30th
After a couple of days on the Black Warrior River with its gnarly roots and twisted trunks, the trees started to become covered with layers of moss.  Sea oats replaced the water hyacinths.  We began smell the salt in the air.  Pelicans posed along with the white plumaged egrets we had enjoyed along the way.



It was only a matter of time before the Mobile city scape loomed over the Mobile Bay.  Lots of industry and activity lined the water way.


A friendly tow captain.

A seagull bejeweled shrimp boat.

Leaving the river systems, we made it through and pushed our way to Dog River Marina, our October destination, where we will leave Sea Jamm to get her bottom painted and gel coat buffed and waxed, preparing her for the salty waters ahead.

We will go home and start preparing ourselves for the next adventure.  East bound Gulf of Mexico.

Later . . . skippers.
