We didn't get to take off until the fog lifted about 11:00 am. We called the lockmaster and got through the deepest lock yet...84ft...Jamie Whitten Lock. The sun finally came out and turned out to be a gorgeous day. The second lock, we had to wait for about 50 minutes, because a tow was ahead of us. We just floated around, ate lunch and enjoyed the scenery. There was no waiting at the 3rd lock today....yes!

We finally got to the marina and was waiting for a courtesy car which some people already had. We waited for over 3 hours and they still didn't return. A very nice southern gentleman, from the marina, offered his car so the we took off for Walmart for supplies again.
When we got back, we put away our groceries, showered and came back in time to view the "Northern Lights". It was a gorgeous deep red sky with lines of white intermingled with all the beautiful sparkling stars. Truly this was a beautiful night to remember!
