Rogersville, AL-Fulton, MS

As we continue to move west on the TN River, we have been blessed with sunny days and calm winds.

Day Four
Traveled 21 miles, passed through Wheeler and Wilson locks, docked at Florence Harbour Marina in Florence, AL, traveled to Florence in marina's courtesy van

Day Five
Traveled 41 miles, docked at Grand Harbour Marina at Counce, TN just after we turned off the TN River onto the Tenn-Tom waterway
Day Six
traveled 56 miles, passed through 3 locks - On our second lock there was a 90 minute delay for maintenance. Sundown came while we were in the third lock. This left 6 miles to go with a half moon and no clouds in the sky. We were guided into the marina by the dockmaster via radio. We had a 1/4 mile approach off the main channel between stumps and a mat of weeds. It was a relief to get tied to the dock! Several boaters were on the docks to watch this feat! We were greeted by one boater with a pan of fresh baked brownies!!
