THURSDAY NOVEMBER 5

We made it to the ocean!!! Good bye Zebra mussels.....hello barnacles. As we entered Mobile Bay we passed many large ocean going vessels. We saw ships of every shape.


This is a crane which is offloading a barge of what we think is gravel. The bucket drops down in the barge, scoops up a load and then puts it in a pile. Maybe fun the first few times you did it, but it has to be a pretty boring way to make a living.











I thought these tugs looked cool.










This was a very odd looking Navy ship. There was a sign posted on it to stay away at least 500 feet.


The boat being in the salt water has increased out speed a mile and hour. I suppose because it's more buoyant.
