Leg One Completed

We have arrived - Miss Hattie tasted salt water for the first time since 1974 (a previous owner's trip on the East Coast).  We came into the busy port of Mobile - much to see, including working docks, ships off- and on-loading, one from China, one from Panama, and there is a boatyard making US  catamaran stealth gun ships (we tested it - no sign of the ship on our radar). AND right on que, dolphins frolicking in our bow wave.

In total, we went 1369 miles, burned 653 gal of fuel (2.1 mpg), spent 22 days on the hook and 20 days in marinas.  Every bit of it was a joy and we look forward to more when we return after the holiday!

800-Dock Vagabonds,
Wishing you a happy holiday.
Mobile Skyline - civilization, at last
