Fairhope Yacht Club, Fairhope, AL

Sunset at Fairhope Yacht Club
   We made it to salt water!!!  We got up early this morning with the other 3 boats we were with last night, and got out of Coffeeville Lock by 7am (our LAST lock for a long time).  Holly Goodhead took the lead and after guiding the other boats through 13 miles of heavy fog, we took off for the 130 miles we had to cruise today.  Fredricka Lady, who we've been traveling with for over a week now, stayed with us on a beautiful sun-filled day as we cruised the final 118 miles of the Tombigbee Waterway into Mobile Harbor, then Mobile Bay.  We crossed the Bay with almost no wind and cruised into Fly Creek to FairhopeYacht Club by 3:30p today.  We are back to fixed docks and tidal swings.  Yeah!

  1. Yeah, congrats. What fun. What is the depth in Fairhope theses days? They last told me they're too shallow for us and need to get dredged out. Xox
