Sunday

Sunday was challanging...

The weather was really difficult. We had thunderstorms chasing us up the Tennessee all day. As we approached Pickwick lock and dam the current was really strong. The boat was working hard to make progress against the current. Then the storm caught us just as we entered the lock. Totally soaked locking up and the lightning and thunder was impressive. In a very timid voice we told the lockmaster that we were in no hurry to leave. She laughed and after opening the upper gates told us to stay as long as we wanted. As the rain abated we finally ventured out. We found Pickwick State Marina, where Tennessee, Mississippi and Alabama all come together. We bought fuel there and wound up spending the night at this very nice marina. Beautiful sky as well, and the Harbormaster's wife drove Deb to a local grocery store to get some steaks. Really nice ending to an 'interesting' day.
