December 14, 2016 – Wednesday

We were up early on Tuesday to start our Mobile Bay crossing but, the fog kept us at the fuel dock until 10:00 am.

Fortunately, birds love the early morning and kept us entertained.

As the fog lifted, we left Dog River for Mobile Bay, by the time we left the channel we were once again shrouded in fog, which lasted until we arrived at our entry into the Gulf Intracostal Waterway.

We spent today cleaning, planning, walking, and watching, you guessed it, the birds.

Highlight of the Day

On returning from our walk, we had a note on our boat, “Hello Fellow Loopers- I am at on the 41′ Silverton – # 179 visiting friends – I had a 25′ Tug – would love to meet you….  Tanya.”  When she came back, I realized that she was Tanya Binford, author of Crossing the Wake: One Woman’s Great Loop Adventure, which I had read. Tanya did the loop solo in a 25′ Ranger Tug. I really admire her for that achievement.
