Carrollton, AL

Tuesday morning, November 18th, we left the marina again with the boat "The Magic Journey."
It was 7:00 a.m. and today is 26 degrees. There was frost on the deck again. The lock is right by the marina, like the day before, and the lockmasters with these lock and dams insist all pleasure boats go through together. If anyone tries later they hear about it!


The scenery along the river changes constantly.

We only had one more lock for the day but this lock was going to take over 2 hours to wait before we could get into it. We decided to go tie up at a marina close by and wait it out. "The Magic Journey" boat picked up a guy at the marina and dropped him off on the barge "Minneapolis"
in the lock with us. Since 9-11, rules are very strict about activity in and around the locks. This all had to be approved by the tow captain, lockmaster, and Tom-the pleasure boat captain.

We followed "The Magic Journey" many miles down the river!
