It was a long day of boating.  We had long waits at each of the four locks we went through while descending the Tenn-Tom.  These locks got us another 110 feet closer to sea-level as we moved toward the Gulf.  We traveled all day with three other looper boats.

    

    

We met new friends, Mark and Sherry on a beautiful 60 ft boat (look close at the first-mate at the door).  I think jaws was flirting with Santa.

We borrowed the courtesy car from Columbus Marina and headed to Huck’s for a great shrimp and grits dinner!  Met Daniel at the bar and swapped boating and triathlon stories before heading back to the marina.
