Week 2 Joe Wheeler State Park to Midway Marina Fulton MS

Image
Monday October 31, 2022 Florence Harbor Marina There were two locks to get through that had to be scheduled with the lock masters.  The barge traffic is picking up as many of them have been diverted from the Mississippi due to low water levels.  The first lock, Joe Wheeler Dam was at 9:30am.  Next was a short cruise to Wilson Dam where we cooled our heels until 4:00 pm.  Florence Harbor Marina waited for our small flotilla of fellow Looper boats to arrive and get tied up.    Tuesday November 1, 2022 Florence Harbor Marina Stayed a second night at Florence Harbor Marina.  We made a trip to Walmart to re-provision with the courtesy car, washed the boat, and enjoyed a nice dinner at the Rock Bottom Grill.  We learned that the 'season' here at the marina was coming to an end.  While the dock stays open for fuel and water the restaurant closes. Wednesday, November 2, 2022 The colors are really beginning to show.  We had a     ...

Week 1 - Goose Pond Marina to Joe Wheeler State Park

Image
Sunday, October 23, 2022 to Saturday October 30, 2022 We finally got off the dock after several months of preparing our Rossbourough 246 for the 6000-mile journey called America's Great Loop.  We were lucky to have made so many new friends that helped us outfit our new home on the water.  Because we left so late in the afternoon the first night we only made it out of the channel and 'dropped the hook'.  It was so nice to watch the sunset from Little Bit More, the same sunsets we'd been enjoying while we lived at the dock!   Goose Pond Marina to  Guntersville Marina The first lock of our journey was the Guntersville Dam, with beautiful weather and no delays. We stayed at Guntersville Marina for a couple of nights while Scott completed installing our lithium/solar solution for house power.  This is a nice marina with clean showers and free laundry.

Week 11 Demopolis AL to Mobile Bay AL

Image
  Let's Get This Show on the River Week 11 January 1, 2023 to January 7, 2023 We were excited to begin our journey again and were concerned that we were so far behind the other Loopers that we would be traveling by ourselves.  We are beginning to understand the phrase “this is not a race, it’s a journey”.  Fortunately, fellow looper "Almost Home" had stopped in Demopolis before continuing down the TennTom.   We agreed to buddy boat and hightail it to Mobile Bay. Despite the river being at flood stage and 15 feet above normal the weather window was good so we were underway at sunrise and a beautiful clear day. After a long day of cruising, dodging floating trees, and enjoying this beautiful waterway we made it to Bobbies Fish Camp.  This historic Looper stop has a small dock along with a rustic stop set up back in the woods.  There was a very fast current but we were secure for the night.
