November 3 - Columbus, Mississippi

The Waterway continued to be flooded with lots of debris as we passed through 1 lock and 23 miles to Columbus Marina. After we pulled in at 11 a.m. we were joined by a number of other "Looper" boats including the two sailboats we've talked about previously.

We borrowed the marina's courtesy car to check out the town, but returned quickly after just visiting the liquor store with Sallyann and Andrew. Since Pat spent a great part of the day managing her mother's release from the hospital to the Healthcare Center at Harrogate where she is a resident, we were delighted to join an impromptu "Looper" get-together on the deck beneath the marina office at sunset. It turned out that the two sailboat captains were musicians headed to Florida. They came with their guitars and sound equipment to provide the evening's entertainment and Pat also got up and sang at the microphone as the evening wore on.
