I doubt this information will be of value to any listees if Ivan stays on the expected course. But the hurricane season isn't over. So it could come in handy later for anyone near Mobile, Alabama, particularly if they are on the ICW in that area. Specifically, go up the Mobile River (Tenn-Tom) and turn into the Tensaw River Cut-off at Mile 12.2. Go about a mile and turn to port into Big Briar Creek. This is recognized by local boat yards as a fine hurricane hole with plenty of space in which to set anchors. Fred Myers CruiseGuide Author & Publisher
