Pirate's Marina Cove Marina, Pickensville, Al.

70 low / 77 high                                   1 lock today / 74 total for 2014

We were delayed a short time leaving the marina yesterday due to a tow in the lock. Once we got going it was smooth sailing with nice weather. This stretch of the waterway is where the infamous phone booth along the bank in the middle of nowhere lies. It's also where you go back and forth between Mississippi and Alabama around every bend for several miles. As we approached Pickensville there were more and more riverfront homes. We arrived at the marina, got tied off and used the courtesy van to go to Down Yonder for a wonderful lunch. Had dinner on the boat and got to bed early. We've stayed an extra day as there is a cold front coming through later this evening and we didn't want to be caught at an anchorage in the thunderstorms. Again this morning we borrowed the van and went 10 miles to Aliceville. There we shopped at the Piggly Wiggly which I hadn't seen any in years.
