Bay Minette Basin
Wednesday, October 27, 2004 brint.adams@us.army.mil
Bob Andrews led a group of nine of us into the basin for a beautiful evening show. We met at Buzbee's at 6:00 PM with a temperature of about 82 degrees, clear skies, no wind and a high tide. Before dark, we were able to see a few remaining burr marigolds and duck potato along the way.
Not long after we turned up into the basin, the moon came up over the trees and was very bright, while the sun settled over Mobile like a big red rubber ball. As we meandered around, the moon finally began to cross the earth's shadow to begin the lunar eclipse show at around 8:00 PM. After paddling around for about four miles, we decided to move our moon-watching off the water, and so headed back to Buzbee's.
After an aborted try to eat dinner at Blue Gill's while continuing to watch the eclipse, we all split up and headed home. Linda and I watched the rest of the eclipse from our front porch where we had a great vantage point.
