Panama City FL to Columbus MS

April 17 to May 3, 2015

After leaving Panama City we moved west through the ICW stopping in Mobile Bay for several days. While there a bad thunder storm with 75 mph winds moved through during a sailboat race on the Bay. Several people drowned and 12 boats were capsized. Thank goodness we were tied to a dock and had some land for protection.

Cruising the ICW.

Pensacola FL. Our buddy boat Blue Angel with the Blue Angels flying overhead.

(We were treated to an air show for 30 min. while we were crossing Pensacola bay).

 

We moved up Mobile Bay and spent several days traveling in the Black Warrior River and the Tombigbee River to Demopolis AL. Once there we said goodbye to our buddy boat of the last 6 months, Jim & Sharon aboard Blue Angel and moved farther north to Columbus MS. where Priorities will spend the next 3 months. We will travel to MI for about 6 weeks than come back and stay here with the boat till fall.

Mobile AL

 

The current in the river was pretty strong from all the snow melt

from the north and of course we were headed upstream.

 

 We also had a lot of debris we had to dodge, such as this log or should I say tree!

 

White Cliffs of Epps.

Our last anchorage.

Priorities' new home for the next 4 months.

 

Thus ends another chapter in “Traveling with Priorities”.
