October Big-Boy Paddle - Across Mobile Bay
by Larry McDuff
The October Big-Boy paddle across Mobile Bay set a record for the lowest number of participants ever in a Big-Boy paddle. Leaving Fairhope Yacht Clug at 9:00 a.m., Carl, George, and Larry glided across the eleven miles to the Dog River Bridge with scarcely a ripple on the surface of the bay. With the sun at our backs and a very light northwesterly breeze wafting across our faces, the paddle was literally a breeze. The highlight of the crossing was the first sighting (for me) of the migratory white pelicans. A flock of about 35 birds soared above us as we lazily paddled across the bay.
We arrived shortly after noon, but not before planning the November Big-Boy paddle. Mark your calendars for Saturday, November 8th to paddle the Rigolets.
