Sept. 11, 2012. Ty Nichols, a buddy from college days, and I brought the boat from Grafton to Louisiana. We got through the Winfield and Clarksville Locks with very little delay and arrived in Louisiana around 4PM. Mom (Mary Alice) and Sally were on our patio waving.
We pulled up to the gas dock and pumped out our holding tanks and proceeded to F-Dock where we backed into our slip. Nephew Ben and his friend Elizabeth joined Sally, mom, Ty, and myself for a welcome home celebration. We topped off the evening at Pikers restaurant as the Lighthouse Restaurant was closed on Tuesday.
Tomorrow, I'll run Ty to Columbia, MO, his home, and run a couple errands there. Ty has been a great novice crewman. Later this week, we'll start working on the next phase of upgrades to SaSea Sally.
I may make some blog posts during the next few months but the nest leg of our Loop trip begins next summer. Stay tuned in for more posts then............
