Giving Thanks

Here are the pictures since my last post and up to a week ago...  I'm a little behind!  We had a great trip south from Demopolis AL into Mobile Bay, spent a few days in Fairhope AL (across the Bay from Mobile), then entered the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway and the lovely Florida panhandle.

South of Demopolis on Nov. 13, an alligator sunning on the bank

Bashi Creek; narrow but we anchored here in Clark Co. AL

From our anchorage in Three Rivers Lake on Nov. 14
McIntire AL

The next morning we waited for the fog to lift before
continuing south

From our anchorage in Big Briar Creek, about a mile from
the Mobile River, about 12 miles from Mobile AL

On Nov. 21 along Santa Rosa Bay in the Gulf Intracoastal
Waterway (GIWW) in FL.  Beautiful white sand
that at first glance appears to be snow!

Starting in Mobile Bay and continuing into the GIWW, we've
been joined by dolphins every day.

Along the GIWW

Sunset from our anchorage by Lower Prichard Long Point
Navarre FL

Happy Thanksgiving!  In Choctawhatchee Bay, we were
buzzed by what looked like a flying pontoon boat.

Thanksgiving sunset at our anchorage in Hogtown Bayou
(near Point Washington FL).  We had a pretty typical
Thanksgiving dinner onboard MAIA.

En route to Panama City FL, we cruised thru a canal-like section
of the waterway called Florida's Grand Canyon

the Gulf of Mexico
