A day at Aqua Yacht Harbor

Enjoying Aqua Yacht Harbor

 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.
