David Lake

Yesterday we left Fairhope at seven o'clock to find a "light chop" on the beam that was pretty uncomfortable.  It got a little better as the tide changed so the wind was not against it anymore.  We got into the Mobile ship channel behind an incoming ship and had no incidents except a huge dredge turning around in front of us as we went through the city.  It was a long ten hour day to go 56 miles and drop anchor in David Lake.  The Tombigbee River is about three feet above normal at this pool so we had some current and debris against us, but nothing like two years ago.
This morning we were up early with a six o'clock departure planned.  Mother Nature was not going along with that plan as the fog is quite thick.  Nothing like sitting around watching fog burn off, albeit slowly.
