Things Loopers Should Know: Locks
An excerpt from my upcoming Great Loop book that explains how to pass through locks.
Pickwick Dam, TN to Fulton, MS (Midway)
December 9, 2022: Even more fog and, finally, a change in current.
Clifton to Pickwick Dam, TN
December 8, 2022: More fog, more tows, a very long wait for a lock, and an unnerving cruise in total darkness.
Waverly (Cuba Landing) to Clifton, TN
December 7, 2022: Another day with lots of fog and a near miss with an invisible tow.
Buchanan (Paris Landing) to Waverly, TN (Cuba Landing)
December 6, 2022: Our first taste of fog, a partially submerged building, and a marina that reminded me of an off-season summer camp.
Paducah to Grand Rivers, KY
December 3, 2022: We take the long way to our first full-service marina since leaving Alton, IL.
