Departure: 15:30

Mobile is the county seat of Mobile County, Alabama. As of the 2010 United States Census, 195,111 people lived within the city limits, making it the third most populous city in Alabama, the most populous in Mobile County, and the largest municipality on the Gulf Coast between New Orleans, Louisiana, and St. Petersburg, Florida. Alabama’s only saltwater port, Mobile is located at the head of Mobile Bay on the north-central Gulf Coast. The Port of Mobile has always played a key role in the city’s economic health, beginning with its early role as a key trading center between the French and Native Americans and continuing today as the 12th-largest port in the United States. Mobile is the principal city of the Mobile Metropolitan Statistical Area, a region of 412,992 residents composed solely of Mobile County; it is the third-largest metropolitan statistical area in Alabama. Mobile is also the largest city in the Mobile–Daphne–Fairhope combined statistical area, which has a total population of 604,726, the second largest in the state. As of 2011, 1,262,907 people live within a 60-mile (100 km) radius of Mobile. Mobile began as the first capital of colonial French Louisiana in 1702. During its first 100 years, Mobile was successively a colony of France, Britain, and Spain. Mobile became part of the United States in 1813, with the annexation of West Florida under President James Madison. In 1861 Alabama joined the Confederate States of America, which surrendered in 1865. As one of the Gulf Coast’s cultural centers, Mobile has several art museums, a symphony orchestra, a professional opera company, a professional ballet company, and a large concentration of historic architecture. Mobile is known for having the oldest organized Carnival celebrations in the United States. The festival began in the early 1700s, celebrated by the city’s first French Catholic colonial settlers. Mobile hosted the first formally organized Carnival mystic society—known elsewhere as a krewe—to celebrate with a parade in the United States, beginning in 1830. In 2005, the first integrated mystic society held a Mardi Gras parade in the city.

Day 4

bimini, bahamas

Arrival: 08:00 - Departure: 16:00

Bimini is the westernmost district of the Bahamas, made up of a chain of islands located about 80 kilometers (50 miles) due east of Miami. It is the closest point in the Bahamas to the mainland United States and lies approximately 210 kilometers (130 miles) west-northwest of Nassau. The population was 1,988 as of the 2010 census. Bimini consists of three islands: North Bimini, South Bimini, and East Bimini. The two largest are North Bimini and South Bimini. The main settlement is Alice Town, a lively strip of shops, restaurants, and bars along a road known as “The King’s Highway.” A second main road, Queen’s Highway, runs almost the length of the island parallel to King’s Highway. South Bimini is home to South Bimini Airport and offers a quieter alternative to the slower-paced bustle of North Bimini. A small residential community on South Bimini, called Port Royale, borders the water. For many years, tourism on South Bimini was mostly limited to boaters, as there were few accommodations other than private homes. Because Bimini is so close to Miami, Florida, many American anglers travel there by boat to fish or enjoy the local nightlife. Scuba diving and snorkeling are also popular, thanks to numerous shipwrecks in the area, including the wreck of the SS Sapona, which ran aground during a 1926 hurricane. The top of the ship remains above water while the lower half is submerged. Over the years, parts of the wreck were salvaged, and some of the wood was used in the construction of the Compleat Angler Hotel and bar on North Bimini.
