A three-mile ride this morning brought us to the ferry connecting Dauphin Island with the east side of Mobile Bay. It was a pleasant 30-minute trip in perfect weather.
The next almost 40 miles were along barrier beaches with nice views of the Gulf and tidal marshes. Toward the end of this stretch, we crossed into Florida, the eighth state of the trip and the last state crossing. In light of my full disclosure policy, there was a pretty darn good tailwind today. Yes, you read correctly, a TAILWIND. What a difference it makes!
We passed through the heart of Pensacola, a town where the military presence is virtually everywhere, on the way to our hotel. This is Mary Jo, whose son was a Marine.
