Saturday November 13: Mile 100 - near the Old 1st Lock

Strange as it may be we actually have internet tonight - thanks to Steve taping the wireless card to 2 boathooks and the mast again! Not fast enough for pictures but I'll add them later. Last night we anchored at mile 145 (that's how everything is identified on the river) - a long day of 70 miles. We arrived just as it was getting dark. Up early this morning and once the fog cleared we were on our way again. We got hung up at the last lock so ended up not going as far as we would have liked but anchorages are very difficult to find on the last 100 miles to Mobile. We are now at sea level and will begin to encounter tides as we continue down the river. Steve has been looking for alligators ever since the lock but I think he's a bit premature :-) Anway, we'll anchor again tomorrow (Sunday) and Monday night with our arrival to Mobile set for Tuesday sometime. That gives us our buffer in case the wind/waves are bad on the Bay as we aren't set to fly to Cleveland until Saturday. More with pics ....... sometime?
