November 5 - Warsaw Cut-off - Warsaw, Alabama

Pat can't see what awaits her on the other side of the lock wall.

Surprise, surprise! Yes, it was a bad as it looks.

The calm after the rapids

The Waterway continued to run quickly as we made our way through the winding route along the 33 miles to our next stop. Tom Blevill Lock also marked the 100th lock we've gone through on our journey thus far!

Marinas have gotten to be few and far between as we have continued south, and mariners must plan carefully for anchorages. Luckily, this spot proved to be lovely and safe, and we dropped anchor in over 30 feet of water with "Freedom" tied next to us. We invited the Newtons for cocktails, and we toasted our 100th locking while enjoying shrimp cocktail, and Sally and Andrew's home-made grilled bread, etc. They even brought us presents: wine from Andrew, tea from Sallyann, and kitty-treats from Tut, the cat, who has paid several visits to our boat!
