Perfect Travel Day

The sky was blue and the temperature was near 80 with hardly a cloud in the sky and no wind.  In short another perfect travel day in a long stretch of beauriful weather that Mother Nature has provided for this trip.  Today the Tenn-Tom Waterway was, I think, the prettiest we have ever seen it.  There has been no rain to speak of in this area for the past six weeks or so and the river was unbelievable clear; no sediment or flotsam.  There was hardly any current and we got a great lock at Howell Heflin, our only lock today.  Actually the locks have been treating us very well all along this trip.

Tonight we are anchored in pretty little Foscue Creek, just downstream from Demopolis.  Tomorrow we start up the Black Warrior River bound for Tuscaloosa and wherever else we find to explore.  More to report as it is revealed to us.
