On the road ( water)

We've been gone since last Thursday, without the expected Internet connections.  Life happens sometimes.

Anyhow we're here on the Grand Caribe, almost to the Tennessee River from yhe Tennessee Tombigbee Waterway.  This is a lovely marina near Shiloh Military Battlefield.  We left from New Orleans last Friday morning, through Mobile, then up the Mobile, Black Warrior, and Tombigbee Rivers to it this site.  We'll be staying here overnight, hoping the coming storm goes by without too much hue and cry, and we'll be on our way down the Tennessee River in the morning.

It's been a great trip!  Only @ 65 passengers, great food, nice weather.   We've seen lots of eagles and ospreys, other more common birds.  Trees coming into leaf, redbuds, dogwoods, even azaleas.

We did get ball scores.  Congrats to the Louisville men and the UConn women (even if it would've been better if it'd been our Lady Vols).

From here we go down the Tennessee almost to the Ohio, cut across to the Cumberland, then back up to Nashville.  I'll be back when I get a chance.
