| Our trick or treaters |
We have returned to Florence. We had come up the Tennessee River to attend the Looper Rendezvous at Joe Wheeler State Park, and are now returning to Yellow Creek where we will start down the Tenn-Tom Bigbee Canal system. So today we came back through the Wheeler and Wilson locks, totally without incident today. We were locking down and it was very smooth. Only issue was floating logs just before Wilson lock. Several of us left the marina at the same time this morning to catch the lock between tows, and Squivot, one of the other boats, hit the log. He didn't think he had much damage.
Late night last night. After the dinner there was a jam session, with the Staubs (original founders of the AGLCA) leading the session. Eddie was there with his guitar, another boater also had his guitar, someone else had a harmonica, several sang, and one woman danced. Best of all was a sing-along that we all participated in. It was fun.
Arrived here in Florence at noon, filled the boat with fuel. Marina tank ran out before out boat was full, so had to wait for the fuel truck. I got some wash done and then, after both boats were fueled and docked, we got the marina courtesy car and got groceries. Now we are ready for travel for the next few days.
Jesse and his wife from Double J are very familiar with the Tenn-Tom Bigbee, and they met with us tonight and went over our charts, showing us good marinas, good anchorages. They have even loaned us their favorite book, we will return when we get to Mobile. Another nice day today, but forecast is for cool weather overnight.
