We elected for a day of regrouping here and just enjoyed dinner
with friend Lynn Flatt who came over from nearby Miche, TN. We took the courtesy van about 20 miles east
of here to tiny Iuka, MS to do some shopping and have a little lunch. We are watching the development of Tropical
Depression 3 ad its predicted track to dump a bunch of water on us by
Friday. We plan to leave here at 0700
tomorrow and hopefully get through Pickwick landing Lock in good order before
starting the 190-mile downstream run to Green Turtle Bay Resort. We are hoping for a good stiff current to
carry us along the trip in just two days. Had a long talk with owner Ken Price
and a Balmar technician over the fact that the old, obsolete voltage regulator
will not respond to heavy uses of 12 volt power from the house bank to recharge
it. We will probably be installing a
modern one while in GTB.
