This is
truly an oasis (pools, a couple of restaurants, bike trails, quaint small town)
after the travels since Chicago we are ready for it. They
really cater to the Loopers here and have the best ship’s store ever –and are
having a sell! We meet back with our
Canadian friends Mañana from
Parry Sound/Michigan City –Fugitive has rented a car to go visit a sister in
Louisville area but will be back this weekend and Kat and GimmeTime are headed
here (presently caught between Lock 52 and 53—I hope they better luck getting
through that 1). The injector cable is
supposed to be here today (please Lord) and we will change the oil, etc. and
head for Nashville next week.

Friday
brought an interesting turnover on the dock.
About half the Looper Boats went on down the Tennessee (none northward toward
Nashville or Chicago) and by nightfall we had about 15 boats arrive. This included our pals GimmeTime and Kat in
the Hatt plus Fryedaze we had met in Michigan City--all with tales of Lock 52 and 53. We took the courtesy car (and the long route thanks
to the faulty navigator) to Paducah, KY to reprovision because we were out of
everything. Saturday is the big game
between Tennessee and Florida and we have cable and can watch then
the Marina is having a Shrimp Boil. It is sure to be a great day.
