November 20
Mobile, Alabama greeted us with the Cochran bridge and its massive supports and gleaming cables. It made for a grand entrance. Incidentally, it's 140 feet from the water to the bottom of the bridge. Mobile's harbor was busy. Each year more than 40 million tons of freight move through this port and it ranks 8th in U.S. exports and is the Nation's leading port in the movement of forest products. We did not take advantage of the free city dock and moved on to Eastern Shore Marina to visit Fairhope. Once we passed the waterfront convention center we were at Mile 0.0, the official end of the Lower Black Warrior-Tombigbee Waterway.
