With 12 boats pulling out of Joe
Wheeler State Park this morning and headed to the Wheeler Lock it was
best to have one person do the coordinating rather than each boat
making contact. The lock is only a mile or so below the park and with
good coordination the lock was open and waiting. It's been rather
windy this morning and I was a bit concerned about hitting one of the
other boats while pulling into the chamber, remember I have a single
engine and no thrusters, but everything went smoothly. We rafted onto
another Kadey-Krogen Manatee named Summertime and had a nice
conversation with Wally and Darcy as the water level eased us on down
to the Wilson reservoir. Once on Wilson Lake we had a 10 mile or so
trip to Wilson Lock, it's a rather short lake but has a hell of a
drop to the Pickwick pool level... 95 feet. At the lock it was “rinse
and repeat.” So, we are now tied to the end cap of “A” dock and
heading out to see what the day brings.
