11/09/06 Mobile Bay

A true river rat boater at Dog River Marina. Sue and I should qualify as river rats seeing as we traversed seven rivers to get to Mobile Bay.





Here is a fishing boat about 100 feet from a marina. Can you guess the name of the hurricane that put it here? It starts with a "K".

On our last night in Mobile our Canadian friends, Roy, Bobbie, Tom and Phyllis made us dinner. The guys did most of the work and it was great. We traveled with them from Columbus Mississippi to Mobile Bay. We were always a day ahead of them since they were traveling in a trawler.











On the left is Tom a retired Supreme Court Judge in Canada. That's me in the middle and Roy is on the right. Roy is a retired inspector in the Royal Canadian Mounted Police.

They shipped Roy's 42 foot Grand Banks Trawler from the West coast of Canada to FLorida to start their great loop experience.

Tom? Retired Supreme Court of Canada justice? Perhaps Superior Court... but not the Supreme Court. The only justice of the Supreme Court of Canada named Thomas was Jean-Thomas Taschereau who passed away more than 100 years ago.

Glad to see that you are enjoying your great loop trip. We dream of doing one also! Hope you get to do a lot in the Mobile area. Our second home is in Fairhope, just on the other side of Mobile Bay. We will not be down there till the middle of JAN, we need to enjoy alittle bit of this snow and ice first.
