    This was a better than expected anchorage. Current flows away from the Mobile River so the aft deck was shaded from the afternoon sun. Anchor is holding well and it grabbed right away. Still on the hook so don't know yet how it will come up. I suspect just fine with a little mud on it. Scenery is nice if you like trees. We anchored about 1/2 mile off Mobile river in 20ft of water. No good bank access. It would be difficult to take pets ashore. Cell signal is a little weak. Even with these drawbacks, still a good place to stop for the night.

    Nice place to stop. Got a visit from some locals that offered to take us to town for provisions. They also informed us that the occasional tow with a barge comes in there so be mindful of that when you drop the hook.

    Spent the weekend at Two Rivers. Good depth in the harbor with a well marked entrance. Gas and diesel available. Variety of shore power configurations to accommodate just about any boat. Clean shower and laundry facilities and a well stocked ships store. Pool is in great shape with plenty of chairs and loungers. The harbor grounds are well maintained and there is a restaurant on site.
    Owner Cindy Blaylock and harbor master Laurell Hamilton have gone over and above to make their harbor a great destination. Even the harbor members will make you feel welcome.
