The weather continued to be great with clear chilly nights in the high 30s and 40s and sunny days with temperatures in the low 70s. After 1 lock and 28 miles we arrived by 11 a.m. at quaint Pirate's Marina Cove where we received a warm welcome by the dockmaster and his assistant.
After getting tied up, we and the Newtons borrowed the marina's courtesy car which we discovered had a flat tire, but was quickly repaired by the dockmaster. We then made our way to the "Down Yonder" restaurant for local southern cooking. Our fried chicken lunches were delicious, as well as our appetizers of fried macaroni and cheese, and onion rings. Get out the cholesterol pills!
The women then went to do the laundry at the local Laundromat, while the men waited patiently at a picnic bench outside with beers purchased at the mini-mart next door. Afterwards we drove to Tom Bevill Visitor Center which is a reconstruction of a southern mansion with interpretive exhibits of the history of the Waterway. We also toured the US Snagboat Montgomery which was the last steam-powered sternwheeler used to keep seven of the South's rivers navigable and free of debris from 1926 through 1982. It was a fun-filled day!
