Columbus Marina

We departed Midway Marina (MM 394) at 6:50 AM. The weather was sunny and mid 50's. Arrived Fulton Lock (MM 391) at 7:05. We had a short delay while the lock was filled. We entered the lock at 7:25 and exited at 7:35. Our next lock was Wilkins Lock (376.3).We arrived at 9:18 and exited at 9:36. Next was Amory Lock (MM 371.1). We arrived at 10.10 and exited at 10:24. At this lock we were greeted by a beagle walking the lock wall. We wondered if he belonged to the dock master or was just a stray looking for handouts. Our last lock for the day was Aberdeen Lock (MM 357.6). We entered at 12:10 and exited at 12:35. Except for one tow barge below Aberdeen Lock,we had the river to ourselves all afternoon. It was very rural and peaceful. We arrived at today's destination, Columbus Marina in Columbus,MS.(MM 335) at 2:50 PM. Once again, the people at the marina were very helpful and had lots of good advice for us for the rest of our journey down the Tenn Tom to Mobile, AL. Today we traveled 59 miles in 8 hours. We had a good day on the river. Lights out at 9:00 PM.
