I was hesitant to get too far out into the bay. Next trip I'll be taking it out into the gulf. I'll be bringing a 6hp Johnson as a kicker with me just in case. From Perdido to Mobile/Bon Secour Bay it took maybe an hour and half. When I wasn't in either bay the water was smooth with no traffic. Once In the river going north I spent about half hour. All in all I was gone about 5hrs since I couldn't leave the Cove thirsty. Burned 6 - 7 gallons of gas.

Ironically two days later. Wed. I spun the prob. $40 later I'm back in action.
