Columbus Marina 33◦31'.290 N 088◦28'.884 W

Our rafted night was quite uneventful, we had a bit of fog in the am so we took our time having a cup of coffee out on our stern while chatting with our neighbors. Mark from Blue Willow had to take the dog out for a walk and you know what; so we all handed him our cameras to get some shots of the boats rafted up. 
 Vicky got up really early, so she made a batch of cinnamon rolls for our breakfast. What a treat! Vicky said she made them this morning because this way they get a treat but ensure Mark won't eat them all! What's not to love about fresh Cinnamon buns.
 
We puttered our way through the Ten-Tom section that is not manmade. This section is actually part of the old Tom Bigbee river so there is a lot of nature made shore line. There is an awful lot of fallen trees and debris in the water here as well but we fared well and did not hit any; nor did we pick up any with our anchor...thank God.

We met up with a rather large tow coming into a lock.

Later we met up with another older tow, this one looks rather funny because the pilot house is on stilts to allow the captain to see better.






We got to Columbus Marina around 1pm and met up with Randy and Sherrie. Then the 4 women from the anchorage last night, all went into town to provision again. We did not need much, but we take every opportunity to top up when we can, knowing the opportunities will be few and far between.
   Tonight we hosted a bunch of loopers again. We had Randy and Sherrie of course, but throughout the night we had 6 other couples join us. 3 couples for dinner. Everybody brought their food and we all shared what we brought. It was quite nice yet again.

 Tomorrow we are setting out with Randy and Sherrie for the first couple of hours, but Jim and I are stopping to visit the snag boat museum and Randy and Sherri will keep going. I am sure we will catch up to them again soon.  Good night all.
