We left Aberdeen at 6:00 A.M. We immediately locked through Aberdeen lock. There was one other boat in the lock with us. While we were in the lock, one of our "dingle balls" became unattached from our boat and fell in the water. Captain John was able to snag it with the boat hook. (My hero!) The people on the other boat cheered for him.
At 9:30 A.M., we locked through John C. Stennis Lock. At this particular lock, the lockmaster asked for information, such as documentation or registration numbers, where we were coming from, and where we are going to. We were in the lock with one other boat who was smaller and faster than us. So, Captain John contacted him on the radio and invited him to pass us. We slowed way down for him, but he went past us full speed ahead. My juice and John's coffee spilled all over our guide books, a lamp fell over, the loveseat slid across the floor, ... You get the idea. How rude he was!
We spent the night at Pirates Marina Cove. They had laundry facilites, so I spent the rest of the day doing laundry. Their dryer took forever. We finally brought the jeans down and hung them across the back deck. I felt bad because there was a man waiting to use the washer and dryer when I still has 2 more loads to go. We met up with Second Wind and Sandpiper again here. Tomorrow will be an early day, as we want to get as far as Demopolis.
