Colombus Marina, Mississippi

Today is Wednesday, October 23, 2013 and we arrived at this marina on Monday evening having stopped previously at Midway Marina along the Tennessee Tom Bigbee Waterway. We took a day to relax and replenish our food supply using the loaner car and making a trip to the local Wal-Mart. Bill Seward has been traveling with us in his boat but today we separate. Bill rented a car and is driving back to Green Turtle Bay to retrieve his car which he left there. Then he plans to drive back to San Antonio for a family gathering on Saturday. We had a nice evening last night as Bill came over and we barbecued his steak and our hamburgers (boo). Anyway, it was a beautiful night although a bit chilly. We plan to leave here shortly with a number of other boats heading south. There's a lock right after leaving but that will be the only lock we have to go through today. We plan to anchor out tonight and get an early start in the morning. Hopefully we'll arrive in Mobile by Monday giving us time enough to clean the boat before heading back to San Antonio.
