Leaving the anchorage, we went by this house and a family enjoying their Sunday at their fish camp; then two girls using a fish net along the shore to catch some fish. Then the red bottom boat caught up with us and escorted us to the Mobile River. As we left them, the young boys gave us the "thumbs up"!
The landscape along the river banks has changed dramatically. It is now very flat and feels more tropical (note the fan palms on the river bank).

Following are sights along the Mobile River, in the Port of Mobile, AL. There were tows and barges coming from every direction. We had to be constantly watchful and alert.

Look, Mobile Bay ahead. We have made it back to salt water!!!
