5/17/17: The Wharf Marina, Orange Beach, Alabama - Briar Creek /Tensaw Cut-off Anchorage (Mobile, Alabama) = 49.33

The long awaited day of getting to the rivers finally arrived. We had scheduled to set off around 8 am. One of our buddy boats experienced trouble so 2 boats stayed behind for an extra hour while the other 2 boats headed out. We all met at the anchorage and had a great night on anchorage.

Mobile Bay was choppy but the winds were pushing us along so we were going with the waves making it a great ride.

To get from Mobile Bay to Mobile River you have to go through the shipping channel which consists of large tankers, barges, and tugs.
