Well, we made it. No more dirty rivers - on to the sea and sand. At the end of the inland waterway is the Mobile River. The river widens and becomes a trail through a swamp as you head south to Mobile Bay on the Gulf.

We were thrilled when in the haze we were able to make out buildings and bridges. It doesn't look like much but it was a big deal to us!.

Mobile is a very busy commercial port. I loved watching the cranes unload a giant ship full of shipping containers.
The shipping containers were expected but these battleships were not. I immediately checked Twitter to see if Trump had started a world war overnight but it turns out the ships are just made in Mobile.
Once out of the river we started to see the things we have traveled all this way for:
 |
| White sand... |
 |
| seabirds... |
 |
| ...shrimp boats. |
We also saw some dolphins following a shrimp boat but they were too far away and too quick to get any photos. It is my mission now to catch a decent snap of them.
