We had a great night at Bobby’s Fish Camp. From Bobby’s to the Tensaw River anchorage it is 79 miles, with the LAST lock of The Great Loop Coffeeville L&D at MM 117. The Tensaw river anchorage is at MM 39 on the Tom Big Bee waterway, this is one of the few anchorages between Bobby’s and Mobile Bay. We motored about a 1/2 up the Tensaw river and it is around 12′ deep where we anchored just around the bend. We saw a few alligators swimming around when we entered the Tensaw. We cooked some fillets and joined Inspiration for dinner. Phil made home-made pasta sauce and we brought the steaks. What a great feast!
The Tensaw River anchorage to Dog River Marine is 55 miles. Going through Mobile ship channel was very cool, many ships from other countries, and new state of the art military ships being built by Austal. Mobile has a neat skyline, handful of tall buildings and the beginning of the salt water ! Dog River Marina had a welcoming for me and my mom when we arrived 2:30PM on Monday October 31st. Technically Pura Vida has been to Dog River Marina a few times and well she’s completed the Great Loop in under 1 year. I will let her rest at Dog River a couple of months, do some maintenance to all the hard-working machenery and get some fresh bottom paint. Hoping to bring her home to Pensacola after Christmas!

Congratulations on crossing your wake! I am very interested to learn more about your journey if you single handed much. I am wanting to do the loop, and in about that size of a boat, maybe a little larger, but am worried that it might be too much for me to handle alone.

Hey Josh! Yes I did single hand almost 1/2 the loop probably. I got very comfortable with my boat doing this. We can have some coffee one morning or lunch if you wanna talk about anything. Always love talking about the waterways and boats with someone who enjoys the same!
