A not so sweltering day

We ran the generator and air conditioning today –sooo much better.  I don’t think we could have taken today with the same old following wind and stifling humidity without AC.  We got to the top of the Tombigbee Waterway today near where it tees into the Tennessee River.  We were underway at 0810 and moved through three locks at 54 miles of waterway to arrive here at Aqua Yacht Harbor by 6:10 PM. Gonna stay here for two nights while weather improves before heading down the Tennessee to Green Turtle Bay Resort to await the Mississippi.
