Nov. 29,   Grand Harbor   TT449     64 miles      1 lock 9 hrs


Pulled anchor with NO FROST, TEMP 49.  There wasn’t even dew on the windows. Goodbye cold weather.  It was overcast but so much warmer.  We left at 6:45 am.  We seemed to be the only crazy boaters out there. Saw a herd of white goats on Wolf Island but was too late to get a picture. About noon we caught up with a fuel barge going the same way we were so we increased our speed to get to the Pickwick Lock before him.  We got to the Lock at 1:30, locked up 53’ and were out of the lock by 2:15.  We were so fortunate we did not have to wait. We got to Grand Harbor at 3:30.   They have cable TV so Roy was watching football by 4:00. Mike O Malley and his friend Tom on My Sharona, a 20’ center console Robablo stopped in.  They are doing the Loop and staying every night on shore and eating out all the time. Not sure that would be ‘my cup of tea’. Suppose to only get down to 55 tonight.
