Travel Day Oct. 28, 23 Fulton, MS to Columbus, MS Travel Day #20


Scott here.

We will be traveling with most of the boats we ended up with last night at Midway on the Ten-Tom Marina. We had a captains briefing at dinner this evening to figure out what today will look like as well as discussion of getting to Mobile Bay. We are all headed that way and have similar timelines, so I am guess we will all be going together. Nine locks to go …. for now.
