We're outa hear 30◦19.447N 087◦32'.013W

Thanks to all who sent us a prayer and some happy thoughts. The wind took a nose dive and our trip across Mobile Bay was beautiful and uneventful. Here is a picture of one web site this am showing the wind dropping down to barely a breeze at 7am and for the duration of our trip.
 
The bay is very expansive and it took us 3 hours to cross it to get to the ICW. The trip was punctuated with only one fishing boat in the channel, otherwise it was pretty clear.
 
We arrived at Roberts bayou by 2:45pm. Germain and Chantal left with us this am, but they are a bit slower. They ended up joining us at 4pm. The cove we are in is rather small, so we rafted together. Germain and Chantal joined us for dinner after 5pm. It sure does feel good to be traveling again!
 
There is a restaurant here called Pirate's cove,  Jim and I went over for a quick visit after we anchored. The people there are really friendly and we had a quick drink while waiting for our partner boat to arrive. Unfortunately I did not have the foresight to bring the camera with me so hopefully I can grab a quick picture as we exit tomorrow.


Tomorrow will be a short day, probably 30 miles or so but hopefully a good a day as today was. Good night all.
