High 50's today, near 70 tomorrow. Some clouds. Brought Touche' back from Pensacola last week. A bit chilly for me. High 40's at sun up, mid to high 60's during the day. Worst day was Wednesday. Left The Wharf Marina on the ICW at Orange Beach, Alabama an hour before sunrise in 48F weather. Sun came up as we motored across Bon Secour Bay off east Mobile Bay. Had enough wind to roll out genoa to gain half knot or so. It was a 12 hour passage to Gulfport. Mississippi
Got into Mandeville Thursday a bit before sundown. Started raining on us as we were leaving the marina in my truck. Timing is everything. One funny thing happened on the trip. On Wednesday, we passed a tow in the Pas au Herons Channel behind Dauphin Island, Alabama, The "Margaret" was pushing 4 loads wide and 2 "strung out" for a total of 8 barges. Margaret was only managing 2.7 knots according to AIS. On Thursday, after spending the night in Gulfport, we again passed the "Margaret" at the east end of Lake Borgne. I was soooo tempted to hail them with "It's me again, Margaret" (remember the Ray Stevens song?). Dennis C.
