We had another beautiful day of cruising in 80◦+ weather. We
are now in Briar Creek about 28 miles from our destination at Turner Marine.
Today we arrived at our anchorage around 2 pm and we spent very little time
exploring.
The highlight of our day today was that we saw some palm trees for
the first time. Now we are sure we are heading south!
It really is hard to tell some times because the river winds
and twists so much, I think even our compass is confused. At one point in time
we were heading @ 00◦00' N I though hey what the heck is that? But we quickly
turned around again.
I forgot to mention that when we passed our last lock 2 days
ago, we entered an area where tides will affect us again. Not much here, about
a 1 foot tide, but still something we have to keep in mind. Although we are in
fresh water, the tides bring in salt water from the gulf and this is why we get
alligators here.
We spent some time thinking about Leo today, since we past
under the Dolly Parton bridge.
Tomorrow we will be back in civilization again for a month
in Mobile. Night all
