Bobby's to Alabama River Cut Off Anchorage

November 7, 2010 Alabama River Cut Off Anchorage. We again got up early and we had fog at Bobby's Fish Camp. We waited for the fog to clear and moved to the lock to lock down. This was the final lock of our Great Circle Trip. This is the Coffeeville Lock, and it will lock us down the last 34 feet to sea level. We have now completed 112 locks, some day I will figure out how many feet we have been lifted and how may feet we have been lowered throughout this entire trip. But for now we have cleared the lock at 9:10am. Yea, no more locks. We are traveling 71 miles to the Alabama River Cut Off to anchor. We are traveling with Ruth and Wayne aboard High Spirits and will raft at anchorage tonight. This will be our last anchorage on the River System, we will enter the Mobile River before the Port of Mobile, go into Mobile Bay and stay at Eastern Shore Marina in Fairhope, Alabama as we head to Florida. We plan a stop in Orange Beach Marina, Alabama to rest after so much camping out. Yea, Nancy gets to eat out and take long showers.
