A good portion of today was spent cruising in a light mist. The sky was overcast and the temperature was cool and bone chilling damp all day. Our pace was slow with a lot of scenery and wildlife to see. There was a section of the river flanked with white cliffs that are compared with the white cliffs of Dover , England

| Along the way - wonderful colors! |
Tonight we are considering ourselves lucky to have a marina to stay at. The number of boats on the river moving south has been overwhelming for the marinas to handle especially since the water level is down. While topping off my gas tanks with 80 gallons of fuel a barge pulled into the terminal which was on the other side of the dock from me. The barge was expected to take to take on 16,000 galloons of diesel! Size does matter!
Stan and Colleen, on Next Endeavour have an electrician coming to their boat to check out a potential charging problem. This could delay our start a few hours but no one is in a hurry – especially Barb and I! Carl and Ricki, on Quest, have invited all for dinner tomorrow night while we anchor together --- somewhere TBD on the river!
We are now planning to anchor out for the next three nights on our way to Mobile Mobile
For the next few days we will probably not have phone or internet service! Once back to civilization in
