Good Morning!
I hope everyone is having a great start to the new year! Besides talking about our boat, I wanted to add some adventures that we go on. We have been in Mobile, Alabama for a few days visiting the family but Mobile is a great place to visit. Of course, we love this place because it has both the city and the ocean right there together. Our goal is to have ATB shipped down and have her placed at Dog River Marina. But by chance a miracle happens, we could sail her down! But for now, more about Mobile.
Mobile was discovered by the French in 1702 and is the birthplace of Mardi Gras. The city is now getting ready for Mardi Gras which is in February. Fat Tuesday is the Tuesday before Lent and it kicks off the Mardi Gras season. Mobile is a great town and offers both sand and sea. It has a much slower pace than Atlanta. I am looking forward to being closer to the ocean since we plan on moving here when I finish school. Since I am very artistic, I love that Mobile has plenty of art in all forms to enjoy. Besides having the beautiful scenery with the old trees, and Spanish moss with flowers everywhere there is the ocean! The Mobile area has other areas that make this such a great place. Spanish Fort, Orange Beach, Bayou la Batre and more.
One activity we make a point of doing is to go fishing. We have a few spots we like to go to, especially Cedar Point Pier but they are closed during the winter months for repairs. Also, you do not need to buy an Alabama fishing license because you are covered by the pier. It costs $6 a person to fish, and you can stay just about 24 hours if you wanted to. There are clean bathrooms and the store sells a variety of snacks, drinks and fishing equipment. This time we went to Meaher State Park. It has the bay, a RV park, bike and hiking trails and it is not too far from Mobile. Though it was raining off and on, we still had fun.

Have a great start to the New Year!
