We spent 3 nights and two full days at Grand Harbor Condos and Marina, one visiting civil war sites & provisioning and one working on the boat & planning our trip to the Gulf.
I really enjoyed our friend Charlie. It seemed that he was with us every evening and early morning.
It seems that Charlie wasn’t the only one interested in fishing near our boat. These fishermen were a mere 15 inches from our boat as they swept up a large-mouth bass and only inches away from Andiamo before they had their boat under control…Charlie would never have gotten that close.
The man-made, Tenn-Tom Waterway connects the Tennessee River at Pickwick Lake with the Tombigbee River at Demopolis, AL. The Black Warrior-Tombigbee connects Demopolis to Mobile, AL. As Rick installed our stern line, cleaned and inflated the fenders and kayaks, I created a semi-plan to the gulf. With the days being shorter, and the desire to move quickly not part of our vocabulary, it will take us between two to three weeks to reach the gulf. We will be at marinas at the beginning of this segment but anchored most of the time after Demopolis. If you don’t hear from us, it just means we are out of Internet and cell phone range.
