I launched my Macgregor on this day in 2010. I have traveled a little 0ver 4000 miles on the Ohio, Cumberland, Tennessee, Little Tennessee, and the Tom-Bigbee waterway. Some of these repeatedly. I encourage you to check the archives.
Day one and 35 pounds heavier
This morning I am in Florence Harbor. I left Joe Wheeler embayment yesterday at sunrise and Headed south. My goal was 47 miles. I got hung up at Wheeler and had to wait with a good 20 mph wind out of the southeast. after 60 minutes of taking a beating standing post on through we went. I got hung up at Wilson for 2 hours again taking a beating, thus Florence harbor
Not many photos of the last couple of days because of the wind all day. Hard to roll with the rollers and take pictures. My left hand was on the grab rail most of the time.
I got this great picture of clouds coming over me from my stern. Imagine standing under a piece of glass and having paint poured over the top.
Starboard
port-pretty Groovy huh.
The biggest drop in America. The Wilson Lock.
Well I am outta here for now. I have until Sunday to go about 50 miles. I already used one marina day and I will anchor out until then. I also blew some money on some fried mushrooms.
Happy birthday Barb.

Hey Doc:
I remember when you took off from Marietta, Ohio. I cant believe its been 3 yrs already. I bet you got some interesting stories to share from the last 3 yrs. I am still working and plugging away. As far as winter approaching, good to see you are in the south to keep a bit warmer.
Stay Healthy and Safe,
Vern
