The weather took a turn for the worse overnight. We were greeted with a steady, cold rain this a.m. Not fun going through another lock in the rain. John used the propane heater most of the a.m. (with ventilation) and we finally called it a day and cautiously made our way into Aberdeen Marina in MS. The visibility was poor so we didn't feel safe going any further that day. A lazy day of reading, napping, eating...
In the morning the marina had some sinful freshly made sausage biscuits that John insisted we have for breakfast. About noon we refueled and were on our way again. The day was glorious with sunshine and clear sky. Unfortunately, we were held up at a lock at Columbus, so pulled into the marina nearby. I was elated to find a very accessible laundry room and spent the time John was in the bilge replacing the water pump washing and folding clothes. Our washing machine on the boat leaks and I'm reluctant to use it. I'm hoping someone at a marina farther south will have someone with knowledge of this type of setup. It's a blessing not to have to tote the clothes to a laundromat, but will do so until the darn thing is repaired.
I made a chicken dinner, with sides of baked potato and corn topped off with Key Lime pie. We're wrapping up the evening watching a Clint Eastwood western. John got an anthology for Christmas from daughter and son-in-law. Whoopee! Looks this will be our entertainment for many evenings to come.
