Day 133: We are Go for Launch!


Perfect Condions

The rain didn't materialize and the Tombigbee keeps dropping so tomorrow we'll untie the dock lines and head north.  We're following the sage advice of Fred Myers, author of the Tenn-Tom Nitty-Gritty Cruise Guide, who wrote:

It'll take us four days to make the 221 mile trip to Demopolis.  Tomorrow, after a thunderstorm blows through, we'll head up Mobile Bay.  Tombigbee MM0 is in downtown Mobile.  Our plan is to anchor at MM17. 

Nellie's provisioned and all systems are nominal. T minus 13 hours and counting.  In Fairhope, Alabama and 945nm into the trip.  DBH
