Full Moon over Bay Minette Basin
Saturday, May 21, 2005 brint.adams@us.army.mil
Bob Andrews gathered the usual cadre of old faces with a smattering of new, to lead about 15 paddlers from Buzbee's, out into the beauty of Bay Minette Basin at dusk. We took off around 6:45 PM with ideal conditions, no wind and the temperature coming off the sweltering high of earlier in the afternoon. Once out to the basin, we kept heading west and turned north into Yancey Bay.
Bob decided to see how far up we could go, but we did not get as far as we did last November. So, we turned around and cut over to the Blakeley River in time to see the sunset. It was very calm and comfortable as we watched a gator off in the distance slowly make his way across the wide river.
The return by bright moonlight was very nice, with the shine off the glass-like water guiding us back to Buzbee's.
