We left the Wolf Island anchorage a little after nine a.m. and aimed for the Pickwick Lock and Dam. Current was very strong as you can see by this sunken buoy...

| Interesting choice for your cabin...a container?? |
We arrived at the lock after a two hour cruise and unfortunately had a very long wait (four hours) as some commercial traffic cleared through.
 |
| This tow had trouble getting out of the lock and had to perform some wiggling maneuvers to correct course |
 |
| Happy to finally be in the lock after a lengthy delay |
 |
| Pickwick is a deep lock, over 50 feet |
Finally arrived at Grand Harbor Marina at 5:00 after a hard slogging day...28 miles that seemed to take a very long time. Happy to see other loopers at the docks and we were also contacted by Misstickle who ended up behind us (they went to Memphis to see Graceland) and were aiming for Grand Harbor the next day.
Decided to layover for a couple of days to re-provision and complete some projects.
