Days #86 and #87 - Counce, TN
October 26th, 2008
We have finally made it to the Tom Bigbee River. We are currently in Counce, TN at beautiful Grand Harbor Marina. It is a development of the marina, condos, restaurant, etc. Counce is where Tennessee, Alabama and Mississippi all meet. Beautiful area.
Yesterday we made our way from Wheeler through two lock and 60 miles. Took us about seven hours which isn’t bad considering the two locks. We got lucky on the timing of both and locked right through. Wilson lock dropped us down almost 80 feet which is something to experience.
Many boats arrived here from Wheeler and stayed for the night. MOst are taking off today to make their way further down the river. We will stay the day, catch up on boat cleaning, laundry, etc. and tomorrow make our way a couple of miles down the river to the yard where we can have the engine looked at. Captain Andy hears a noise he is not comfrtatble with and wants to have it checked out. The Admiral never questions the captain on those kinds of decisions. Let’s just hope it is quick and inexpensive and we can start making our way down the river with the others.

Mary and Andy,
I couldn’t comment on todays posting so I found one I could comment on. Great News!!! Glad you are off and runniing. I saw one of the pictures that Ed took posted to your day 86 & 87. Ed recongized the picture–the lines on the bow are a dead give away.
We left Foreign Exchange this morning and are now in Chattnooga. We celebrated Jan’s birthday tonight (Full Circle).
Glad the news was good, stay safe and take care.
