AM COOL, CLEAR, PM SUNNY COOL
D. 52.9 sm / 2650.8

Since we were on a anchor overnight we had no heat in the boat and the cabin was 54 degrees when we woke up.  Needless to say, we started the generator and turned up the heat.  We pulled the anchor at 7:10 and headed for the Gainsville/Heflin Lock at mm 266.  By now we are old pros at locking thru so there was no problem with this lock and we were thru at 08:00.  We are nearing the end of the TENNESSEE-TOMBIGBEE WW and the scenery here is spectacular.  At Demopolis, we will begin the BLACK WARRIOR-TOMBIGBEE WW which is even more scenic, and remote.  At mm 248.8 we pass the White Cliffs of Epes.  Here's a link to the video that Beth took on Kismet.  That's Glory Days in the lead.
