October 17, 2012 Day 159 Grand Harbor Marina Total miles to date: 3286.4
Today was a very windy day
as we headed south on the Tennessee to Grand Harbor Marina in Mississippi. We left Clinton, TN at 8am with six other
Looper boats and arrived around 4pm.
We passed the Shiloh Civil War Battlefield and plan to
see it on our return trip after we leave the Rendezvous next week.  |

| Entering the Pickwick Lock with nine others! |
We approached the Pickwick
Landing Lock (a lift of 55 feet) just before 3:00. There were 10 Looper boats
in the lock chamber!
We exited the lock which
put us in Pickwick Lake, and headed to the marina which was another eight
miles. We waited for our slip assignment and then pulled in on a face dock
right behind Katy Leigh. There are
too many Looper boats here to count – most are headed to the Rendezvous.  |

We hope to leave for Florence, Alabama in the morning but we will check the weather first.
