yes, worry about us. Gustav came and is still blowing down here. We've had wind wind and more wind. The three days at Aqua Marina seemed like a month. Their transient dock was the wind break for the rest of the marina. Rather than risk moving the boat, we chose to be tourists. We spent the first day at the Battle field of Shiloh. Cannons, cannon balls, historical markers, graves, and more cannon balls...all very interesting and serene. Floyd and I both remarked how difficult it is to imagine the noise, confusion and violence that occurred here. It is a lovely wooded area now. Day two we ventured into Savannah, TN...found a lovely little museum about the Tennessee River and, guess who talked me into the Buford Pusser Historical Museum. Yep, felt a little like cop heaven. You do remember the guy from Tennessee who carried that big stick..."Walking Tall"???? How we got outta there without one I'll never know. Day three was a challenge....we headed off to Corinth...found North Corinth, South Corinth, and even old historic Corinth. After finally locating the Office Pro shop that didn't have the printer cartridge, we found Super Walmart...and yes, they had one. Then back to Pickwick, I did some laundry while Floyd went for a haircut. Boy, did he get a bargain. We took our chances and left there on Wednesday, Sept 3 headed for Bay Springs Marina, located close to New Site, Mississippi.
