The other boaters in the group took a side excursion,
taking the Tennessee River east through northern Alabama to Chattanooga, TN while I
stayed in Iuka, MS at Aqua Yacht Harbor. I was docked under a covered slip
which was a welcomed change.
I had my auto pilot worked on and it will be the second
time during this trip. I believe it’s actually fixed this go around. I’ll find out
soon enough. I took advantage of this time to work on the boat and replaced the marine TV antenna, changed belts,
the ac filter and cleaned the galley area.
During this down time I also had the boat detailed.

did a great job, she looks great.
This place was a nice find in Corinth, MS. Breakfast was
great. Of course, I had their biscuits & gravy.

We've had some foggy mornings. I went to take a shower at 7am and this is
what it looked like outside.
I moved the boat to get fuel and pump out. Also moved
to a transient slip, getting ready to depart.
They have returned from Chattanooga and we will be heading
south on the Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway, or the Tenn-Tom for short, tomorrow. The Tenn-Tom is man made and is 234 miles with 10 locks/dams. We plan to anchor out by the first one, the Jamie Whitten Lock & Dam. It is the 4th highest single lift lock in the U.S. and we'll be lowered 84 feet.
