Onwards to Carrabelle, Fl.

 Day One. With Pam still ailing at home, my old friend, Bo Blakey, is on the job crewing.

On Mobile Bay, heading south from Fairhope, The Birds showed great interest and followed us clear to the ICW.  A little Hitchcockish, really.

We did see dolphins off our bow so felt blessed by King Neptune.

Looking for whales, enemy subs.

After encountering an inconsiderate shallow shoal we gave up on Little Sabine Cove Marina.  (Too tight, too shallow.  Wouldn't recommend it.)  Satisfied that when the depth sounder says zero, even near the dock, it really means it, we crossed over to English Navy Cove, south of Pensacola, and dropped anchor in time for sunset. We had made 80 miles.
