Bay Minette Basin to Blakely State Park
Sunday, June 20, 2004 brint.adams@us.army.mil
I met Bob, Fritz and Susan Garlow at Buzbee's at 5:30PM and we set out at 5:50. This was a fast group and since Susan and I were looking to start our hard training schedule, this was a good start. We saw a few gators on the way up under ideal conditions, with no wind, waves or current to deal with. We made it to Blakely at 7:00, with only two short breaks, basically to let Susan catch up.
We had a nice feast with a couple of bottles of wine and after about an hour of hanging out watching the sun set, Fritz had enough and quietly took off. The rest of us quickly got things cleaned up, put away and took off after him. The trip back was also very fast and under the moonlight. We arrived back at 9:10, again taking about 65-70 minutes to paddle the 5 miles back.
