Our trip from Knoxville to Iuke, Mississippi, was a bit of a race. We first stopped at some of the same places; i.e. Fort Louden Dam Marina, Euchee Marina, then Chattanooga. At each we were the only boat moving. Same at Goose Pond Colony Marina and Decatur, Alabama. In Florence, Alabama, we saw our first real Christmas boat decoractions. There we moored a 42' boat on a 20' finger pier . . . glad there was no wind or current for the evening.
Our last Tennessee River Lock, the Wilson Lock. A drop of some 90+ feet, one of the largest in the US. On afterward to Iuka, Miss.
The Natchez Trace Bridge over the Tennessee. The Trace is administered by the National Park Service . . . from Nashville, Tennessee, to Natchez, Mississippi.
Auga Marina in Iuka, Mississippi, and we meet up with old cruising friends, Jack and Judy Bozza. They are there for engine repairs. Bonnie is on the plane out of Memphis back to work in Virginia Beach.
Before Bonnie left Charlie's sister, Barbara, came from Jackson, Mississippi, to visit for a few days. She was taken on a cruise of Pickwick Lake and over to the Pickwick Dam.
Barbara and Charlie made a visit to the Shiloh Battlefield after depositing Bonnie at the Memphis Airport.
