October 17, 2015, Doug and I enjoyed an afternoon cruise on Mobile Bay with the AIA Mobile Group on the Schooner Joshua. Captain Carol Brambelt commands the classic 72' wooden schooner's sailing on Mobile Bay (operating from Mariott's Grand Hotel on the Eastern Shore of Mobile Bay and the Grand Mariner Marina on Dog River). The vessel can carry as many as 49 passengers. In 2003, Joshua was honored by the City of Mobile as the city's official tall ship and in May 2009, Joshua was designated the Official Tall Ship of the State of Alabama. It was too windy so they were unable to put out the sails, but we still had a very fun time on the water. *** click to enlarge most pictures *** Our view from land as we looked across Mobile Bay. On our way, we saw this beautiful field of cotton.
