We headed out at 6:30 AM and the wind was light. As we entered Mobile Bay we had a very light chop. As we got closer to the ship channel, the wind was blowing out of the north from Mobile and we started bouncing around quite a bit. Teak and I were both thinking that this was not going to be good! If this is how it's going to be all the way to Biloxi, we would both be sick!!!! We bounced all the way to the Dauphin Island bridge but once we went through the bridge it was like night and day - smooth as glass! Thank goodness, because it was potty time for all of us.
It continued being smooth until there was a break in the barrier islands and they did not protect us from the gulf so we started getting big swells coming at our port (left) side. Teak could not eat lunch and at one point she almost started dusting the upper deck! I had to hang on to her because we were really rocking! All was good once we were once again protected by the islands and it stayed that way all the way to Biloxi.
Tomorrow it's on to New Orleans to the Seabrook Harbor Marina. Pontchartrain Landing told us yesterday that they had a slip for us but when we called today they said "I do not know who you talked to, but we have nothing". Thank goodness we called because this is not the first time someone said they could take us and then said they were full. We called Seabrook and they were very nice and we have a slip starting tomorrow. They did ask us how we were coming in because the Seabrook RR bridge is broken and will be closed until December 21st. This may be the reason Pontchartrain Landing is full!
Bye Bye Alabama
