As forecast, the S/SE wind leaving Dauphin Island was strong and unsafe for me to cycle across the bridge to the mainland. Although the winds were a lot less than yesterday. Jody drove us 10 miles north to Alabama Port where we hopped on bikes and took off with a lovely tailwind the rest of the day. Cloud-covered skies were also appreciated. And have I mentioned that Sunday morning traffic?! It’s the best cuz there usually isn’t any! Total today 76.2 miles, 991’ elevation. Alabama ✅ Thanks for the short coastal visit of only 61 miles (would have been 10 more without the car ride this morning). In another small Airbnb house in Gulfport tonight.
