We had to wait for the fog to clear before we got started to the Coffeeville Lock and Dam; our last lock, yay! It was a 35 foot drop, which was grand total of 12 locks (10 on the Tombigbee and 2 on the Black Warrior) and 415 feet! Pretty amazing, to me anyway.

We saw lots of wildlife, and enjoyed a beautiful 70 degree cloudless day. We dropped anchor at 4:45 on the Tensas River with 2 other boaters. Chasing 80 arrived about an hour later. They are from Cincinnati and crossed their wake a few weeks ago. They are planning to go to New Orleans and back up to the Tennessee and just cruise for a while.

We fixed chili for dinner and watched a little NFL on the satellite.
