Tom, Diann, Nancy & RossLast night was closing ceremony for the 2009 AGLCA rendezvous. This week has gone by quickly with wonderful opportunities to bond with fellow cruisers and to learn from experienced loopers the things to look forward to and the things to try to avoid. This has been a very rewarding and educational experience. If anyone is interested in this venture, I would highly recommend attending one of these rendezvous. There at two annual meetings, one here in Alabama (October) and the spring event held next April in Hilton Head. This event covered the area from here to Hilton Head, and the spring event covers Hilton Head back to Northern Alabama. The friendships we have developed here have been fantastic. We will certainly look forward to continuing these opportunities to connect with each other as we venture on to the next ports of interest.
About 1/3 of the attendees chose to depart this morning at daybreak heading for Iuka MS to either Aqua Marine or next door to Grand Harbor. The weather this morning is forecasted for drizzle, high of 75. Friday’s forecast is same and maybe high winds. We decided that there is no hurry and we will wait here at Joe Wheeler State Park for a clearing in the weather and depart Sunday or Monday.
Diann found a local hair salon that offered to pick her up this morning, take her to Rogersville and bring her back after her appointment. Nice service. We will try to get to town, get some last minute provisions for the trip down the Tombigbee where re-provisioning is limited and marinas are few. We also are hoping the Tombigbee waterway will have an opportunity to recede in the next few days. This area has had a lot of rain in the last few weeks.
Hi Tom & Diann, The trip down today was very WET. Wheeler lock went slick as a whistle but Wilson took a long time and thats when it was raining the hardest. We miss you! Alex and Cindy, Tug Hill Tug
