Day-14 May 18, Friday 4:30
At 3:00 p.m. today we made it to Pickensville, AL. 70 miles today.
Look at the map on the side, we are at the marina above the Tom Bill Lock and Dam for the night. It is 4:30 now and we are off to town for dinner.
i Breakfast at Smithville. Doug requested tabasco sauce and received the industrial size bottle. They like the stuff here. |
One of the few cruise boats we have passed. We are surprised that we have only passed a couple dozen large boats on the whole trip so far. The marina last night said the dock at his location is substantially down.
We will find out the name of these plants. They cover the river in spots and it makes navigation tough. The driver must make sure there are no logs in the plant cluster.
A few of them are flowering.
Our marina for the night. Pirates Marina Cove.
Hey Dave,
ReplyDeleteI think that plant you are interested in is called Waterhyacinth.
