May 9, 2015 Tensas River TT mm 39

We did an early morning getup at 6 am and were out of the Wharf Marina by 6:45.  By 8 we were in Mobile Bay and it was just as flat as a pancake.  There were lots of shrimpers out.  At one time we had about a hundred birds circling around our boat and diving for fish for about two miles.  By 12:30 we were at mile 0 ready to start up the TenTom.  We had passed Warship 2 at Pensacola Pass and now saw Warship 9 and 10 in Mobile being retrofitted.


  The Ports were very busy and it took us an hour to get thru the Ports.   When we got to the 14 mile railroad bridge, they were changing shifts so we were held up for about 30 minutes.  It was such a beautiful day, hardly any current, very little debris that we made it to Tensas River mm39 by 5:30.   We had cruised 84 miles.  Long Day.
