Special Note to Julie; HAPPY ANNIVERSERY

We had a really great day today, ran 58.8 miles and went through 4 Locks.  We managed to keep up with a couple of Cruisers they motored about our speed and were able to lock through at each lock with them.  They Lock masters had the locks ready on all but one, and even then we only had a short wait.  So was really great day, and best of all the SUN was out, what a blessing to have warm sunshine. 

There is not a lot to report for this stop.  Columbus Marina is nice place, good service and deep water.  We are less than ½ mile to the next lock.  We plan on keeping with our new friends, we stopped today and talked to them after we docked and fueled.  Took on 35 gallons of fuel today. 

Ok the details, we have travelled for 5 days, covered 310 miles 8 Locks, once up into Lake Pickwick and down 7 times.  We have gotten locking down pretty good now.  Ok, I think that will cover it for tonight.  Oh, need to add, this maybe the last post for a while, we will be anchoring tomorrow for sure, and maybe the next night.  If I can use my phones hot spot we will post text.  Ok that’s it.
