64 low / 88 high 3 locks today / 73 for 2014
Again we stayed at a marina just above our next lock so a call to the lockmaster early advised us a tow was locking up and to remain at the dock until we saw him emerge, We still got away about 810 am. 2 sail boats pulled in late the night before because one was having overheating problems. One is headed to Bradenton, Fl. with a father and his 7 year old son. What an adventure for that young man. The scenery continues to change as we are now on the river section of the waterway. Arrived at Columbus Marina a little after 300 pm. We received some good news via email. We have permission to go as far as Dog River Marina in Mobile as early as the 15th of October vs 1 November. We can now continue to travel with John & Sue at least that far. We have asked for further permission to go all the way to Pensacola with them. Plus Ann is very grateful that she doesn't have to stay here for several days by herself when I go home for a knee appointment. I'll go from Mobile instead and she has family there.
That is good news from your insurance! We arrived at Joe Wheeler today and are excited about the rendezvous - more boats arriving tomorrow.
