From Aqua Yacht Harbor Marina to Midway Marina in Fulton MS

From Aqua Harbor we drove the courtesy car back to the town of Florence to see the Alabama Music Hall of Fame.  It was a worthwhile trip.  We had no idea that so many famous artists recorded in this area.  Having a car to drive helps us to see areas from two different perspectives (by land and by water).
The 56 mile boat trip to Fulton was relaxing and the scenery was pleasant (and there were no delays at the 3 locks!).
We locked through with a really nice guy, John, who was traveling alone in his 28 foot boat on the way to the Palm Harbor Florida area.  Having dinner together was a lot of fun.
While exiting the last lock our port side throttle cable snapped.  John left the next morning at 8:00 AM as we waited for a mechanic to check the cable and order a new one.
The new cable will be installed tomorrow Tuesday allowing us to leave on Wednesday.
Tonight we shared cocktails and dinner with two other couples one of whom was a couple that we had traveled with earlier (Mike and Jennifer); and a German couple from Cologne (Fred and Intrid )who are also doing the loop.
