A third of the way

Well we are completed almost a third of the loop.  We have travelled 350 miles down the Tenn-Tom and Mobile River since my last blog.  It was a long journey. At time there wasn't much to see but it was interesting to watch the landscape change from the white dried cliffs, the pine forests and the bayous. Now we can see alligators.   Haven't seen any yet but keeping my eyes open.

To get an idea of how winding the river is.  The fog is on the river ahead.

We anchored out several nights as the marinas were far and few.  It wasn't a bad thing. We explored by dinghy and made more looper friends.

We lucked out as a must stop was closed on Wednesday  but Bobby's Fish Camp opened for us.  We were able to celebrate Halloween there with other boaters.

We travelled down the Mobile River. It was a highway of barges and as we neared Mobile it was mayhem.   The big ocean going ships and submarines were in the harbor along with tows and barges. We really looked small in there.

Now we are stopped for a couple of days.  Here we are resting under a bridge and for boat maintenance before we enter the journey to the Gulf of Mexico with a full moon to lead the way

With limited internet, I won't post our journey so far.  If you look at the map, it appears that we are went nowhere. It is actually a long winding river.  We anchored several nights along the way.
