A terrific week at Pebble Isle Marina. The staff, Randy, Tammy, Amanda, Andy were so considerate, helpful. We made trips to Walmart in the courtesy car, completed laundry, Charlie after five years purchased a new phone . . . a great time at this marina . . . sweet rolls every morning. It was particularly nice in that SONATA needed to slow down. Events changed in that we are now having an imprompto "family-gathering" at the Stockett's in Jackson, Mississippi, with Charlie's brother and sisters next week.
We departed leaving OOKPIK, SWEET PEA, and NAUTI NELL at the dock.
During the peaceful ride up the Tennessee we passed white pelicans overhead and resting on the water.
On the way to Clifton we passed Cuba Landing Marina were in 2007 we enjoyed fine-dining with GREAT ESCAPE. GREAT ESCAPE is about two days ahead of SONATA and we will hopefully see them after our trip to Jackson.
Lady Finger Bluff is in a narrow portion of the river where reportedly a woman leaped to her death to avoid capture by the indians. A few miles further up the river SONATA passed under the Alvin C. York bridge.
Clifton Marina. We were here October 13, 2007, according to the marina's log book. Pulling in SONATA joined TELLICO LADY and BROWN EYED GIRL. Both of these vessels left early on the 7th . . . SONATA delayed to later in the day. SONATA is going to Diamond Island to anchor below the Pickwick Dam and Lock . . . then on the morning of the 8th proceed on to Grand Harbor Marina . . . which has a mailing address in Tennessee but is physically in Mississippi; on the banks of the Tombigbee Waterway, just off the Tennessee River. SONATA's resting point while we travel to Jackson for the week.
