Looking at the chart today, it is incredible to realize that we are more than halfway down from Chicago to Mobile, Alabama. Soon, very soon, we will be in the warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico and enjoying some time in Florida. Looking forward to it as it has been quite cool the last few days; we even turned on our heater the other night! Leaving Kentucky Lake behind, we cruised down the Tennessee River to Pickwick Lake. This morning, we just joined the Tombigbee waterway, which will take us through the northeast corner of the state of Mississippi and down through Alabama. Despite spending most of our last week either traveling or at anchor, we have had an eventful time. Each new experience has brought some learning along with it; some thoroughly enjoyable, some ... read more

Once there, we took on 84.55 gallons of fuel before tying up at the transient dock. After lunch we borrowed the courtesy car and the four of us went to Walmart in Corinth, MS. Sara and Trevor needed to replenish supplies and Kerry was looking for a new transducer for the depth finder. When he couldn’t find one, he just ordered one from Amazon to be delivered to Demopolis. After supper we enjoyed hot showers before turning in early. Tuesday, 9 November, 2010 We were up early, but fog again kept us from leaving until nearly nine. We are finally heading south on the TennTom. It was not far to the Divide Cut, a man-made ... read more
