Mobile and Onward

We stayed at Turner Marina

 awhile to get some routine maintenance done on the boat (oil change, etc.). This was a fun place to stay. They have a pot luck dinner every Wednesday and a loaner car to use to get groceries, etc.  

We used this time to fly back to New York to see doctors, dentists, families and friends.  We even did a quick visit to midtown. 

10/30/13: Made it to Mobile

We finally made it to Mobile AL. We've travelled over 2,830 nautical miles (3,253 statute miles) which puts us a little more than half way around the Loop.
We are all done with meeting and passing barges and their towboats on confined rivers.  The weather and the water continue to warm and inviting. 
After a quick trip back up to New York, we will continue on around the Gulf and stop in the Florida Keys for the winter.
