GL: Black Warrior, Birmingport, AL to Mobile Bay to Orange Beach, AL

[Marty Hawkins]

Has anyone made the trip from Birmingport to Mobile? I know many have run
the Tenn-Tom, connecting with the Black Warrior at Demopolis on your way to
Mobile.  I have a 24' Pontoon boat with a 70 Evinrude. I want to make the
trip in July. I plan to put a tarp over the boat on a PVC frame to keep us
dry. I need advice on length of time to run it, total distance, I have no
idea what kind of gas mileage I get, I can only run about 15mph.  I also
need advice about purchasing a marine VHF radio - handheld or mounted???
Anyone have maps/charts they would be willing to part with?  Any advice/help
anyone can give me would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thx

 

Marty
