Morning All, Life's2Short just crossed Mobile Bay and is headed north on the Tenn-Tom. Yesterday as we were headed across the bay at low tide we saw what appeared to be a large barnacle encrusted stump or pole or iron post. We were in 11' of water and this baby was not moving and was 30+ inches in circumference, it was definitely attached to the bottom. We did contact the Coast Guard and reported it's position but I also wanted to let the list know of it's coordinates; 30.22.161 N 87.54.686 W When Life's2Short cross's Mobile Bay, headed west, we always leave the GIWW shortly after entering Mobile Bay and head N.W. on a direct line to Dog River. The obstruction is on that line about an hour north of the GIWW. The scary part was that we were following our old track on the Cap'n software and we came within 10 yards of it before we saw it sticking out about 6" above the water!!
