Pirate's Cove Marina, Pickensville, AL

Pirate Cove Marina - rustic, but home for a few days

   After a chore filled day on Saturday (laundry & repairs) and a dinner at the Waterfront Restaurant, we rose early this morning to leave at first light.  We had a long day ahead.  2 other boats left with us.  We were in Fulton Lock by 7am.  That was the first of 5 locks for the day!  We had luck on our side with no barges in our way as we cruised through these locks (though we did have to slow down for some fisherman on cammo colored boats, hard to see!).  Our traveling companions stayed with us until we got to Columbus, where they were staying for the night.  Other Loopers traveling south.  We will see them again.  It was a beautiful, sunny day, which got warmer as we continued south.  We safely arrived at Pirate's Cove by 4:30pm - before sunset, thankfully!  We will stay a couple days so David can work.
