Coffeeville, AL to Mobile, AL


Total Miles Traveled 667

We had a great catfish dinner at Bobby’s Fish Camp with our new friends from “Further” and “Portofino” Sunday evening.  We passed through the Coffeeville Lock at daybreak Monday morning, our last lock on the waterway to Mobile Bay.  We are now in tidal waters so we’ll have to keep that in mind when anchoring and tying the boat to a fixed dock.

Since we had an early start and a little boost from the current, we traveled 83 miles to an anchorage on the Tensaw River; we were now only 39 miles from Mobile Bay.  We had planned to get an early start this morning, but the low temperatures overnight produced a lot of fog over the water, we waited about two hours for it to clear off.



As we leave the waterway we enter the commercial shipping lane, there is a lot of boat activity in this area.

Entering Mobile Bay……..when we came through here last year we had 1-3 foot waves to deal with….today was perfect!



We even had an escort to lead the way.
