Their journey was complicated due to an unreliable Navionics auto-route, leading them through the Tensaw River’s shallow areas. Despite facing stressful navigation challenges, they eventually reached their destination and encountered dolphins in the shipping channel.

    Scott here. November 1, 2023 we went from Kingfisher Bay Marina in Demopolis, AL to Coffeeville, AL at Bobby’s Fish Camp. Not a very nice place and I would not recommend anyone stay here. It is small. One dock where you can fit 4 or 5 boats. Before we arrived a large yacht, at least…

    I was right. I slept really good, except I was so tired I fell asleep around 7:30 pm and woke up pretty darn early. Ooh well. This was our third anchorage for our Great Loop adventure. They have all gone really well. We were very protected in our little spot we called home for the…

    What a beautiful day to travel on the water! It was like glass. I will take it and be grateful for a nice calm day. The people at Cuba Landing make the marina. It isn’t much to look at, but the people made it great, and I think I can say the same for Clifton…
