Orange Beach, Alabama












Hey everyone! We made it to the Gulf of Mexico. Since I was last able to write, we have traveled 363 miles. We spent last night at a nice anchor, but no tv or internet. The bottom pic is what the Tombigbee river was like- so much debris! The top picture is an oil rig we passed, the next is a fishing boar surroundede by birds. The picture of the ship is a Navy ship coming into port woth escorts. All the Sailors were on deck at attention- it was something to see! We left Mobile bay and came into the Gulf for just a short time before turning into the Intercoastal waterway. We are headed for Pensacola, Florida and are tied up tonite at a marina in Alabama, just a few miles from Florida. The end is in sight for this part of the trip! Love to you all- Bud, Fran and Ray
