Day 23
We have now entered the Tenn-Tom at 10:30 am on our 23rd day. We have 253 miles and 10 locks to navigate on our way down to Mobile, Alabama, and have motored through the Mississippi, Ohio, Cumberland and Tennessee Rivers. We are now at the corner of Tennessee, Mississippi and Alabama (the states)
The Tenn- Tom is a man made waterway connecting the Tennessee River with the Tombigbee/Black Warrior Rivers, taking 13 years to complete.
....and then on to the Florida panhandle. If we average 50 miles a day and a 3 day layover at the marina where our mast is that’s approximately 8 more days until we’re a sailboat again. But who’s countingš
Now to the meaning of the title... We’re on on the Yellow Creek River which is our Yellow Brick Road on the way to find our way home.
Enough said....
