Weather or Not

Yesterday (Tuesday), we had to make a weather decision. Our route was showing a pretty steady rain all day with up to 2-3 inches falling. While the rain was well needed for the area which is experiencing a drought, it doesn't make for the best boating. The rain can reduce visibility and the idea of meeting tows in narrow channels with poor visibility influenced our decision to stay put in Columbus marina.

It was good just to relax. I did some laundry, inside cleaning and reading. Alan cleaned the boat. The marina had covered slips so we stayed very dry. There were quite a few water lilies in the marina. First I have seen of these.

 

The marina had a courtesy car that we used to go out to dinner at Huck's restaurant with a couple fellow boaters (Wendy and Dave). It was a really nice evening.

 

There are a number of boats heading out tomorrow. Looks like there will be seven of us in tomorrow's flotilla. It is that time of year when everyone wants to get their boat down south.
