Iuka, Mississippi

Our travel day was delayed by an hour and a half due to fog. We traveled 48.7 NM. We lifted up 55' through one lock.  We sailed through the border where Tennessee, Mississippi, and Alabama join. We are docked at Grand Harbor Marina, Iuka, Mississippi.

Total mileage to date:  3,109.5 NM (in less than 6 months).

Delayed.

Ba-bye Clifton Marina.

Minimal visibility...

...we love our radar!

Pickwick Lock has two chambers. We only had a five minute wait for the gates to open.

"Welcome Loopers" sign.

Hope that guy saves some fuel for us.

"The crew" still going strong after over 3,100 NM in less than six months!
