Up at 5;30 off by 6 to the big city of Mobile Al. A beautiful day again to enjoy all of the wonderful sites along the TTB/Black Warrior river.Saw a couple of gators on t he way down sunning on the bank covered in dried mud. So then we were on a great gator hunt and all the logs on the bank began to look like gators, hahaha. It was a great day and we made great time into the city. We tied up to the city dock across from the military and commercial ship building plant. With the wind blowing it took a little bit to get tied up but low and behold it can be done. Fenders need to be horizontal for this dock to catch the rubber protrusions from the dock. T WHey are buffers but can really scratch your boat and leave a chalky color on them. SO we went into town after securing our boats and found a great place to eat called the Inked Squid. It is one of several owned by Panini Pete who is a native of the Fairhope Mobile area, is a chef on one of the cooking channels and has remade (for the better) several restaurants in the Mobile Fairhope area. The food was awesome the atmosphere was great and the fried deviled eggs were good but mine are better. HAHA. Mobile is all decorated foe Christmas so it was a lot of fun walking around the city. Found a little candy shop that had sea salted caramels. I love them. Back to the boat after our excursion and got a really peaceful nights sleep.
