Thursday: It was another beautiful day on the river system. The Tenn-Tom is exceptionally beautiful this time around. Today, unlike the past few days, we had a lot of debris again in the water. At Mile 316.5 we hit a log that was underwater. Luckily we have no vibrations. We had 2 locks to go through today and we hit both good with no wait. In the last lock, Stennis Lock, when he started to fill the chamber we could see all the debris and junk that the stirred up from the bottom. Upon exiting the lock we heard another thump and we hit another underwater log. Thank goodness the marina was just around the corner.
Our generator was not producing 120 volts again this morning; only 90. I brought our coffee pot over for Elvie to make coffee. We got underway by 06:40. We had T at Columbus check out the generator and it worked just fine for him. It seems that it only works sporadically. T called an expert on Onan generators and he said that the only other thing it could be were the brushes so I guess we will try that next.
Everyone went to lunch and I stayed on the boat while T checked the generator and I did a load of wash. After lunch Elvie, Pam, and I went to Walmart to stock up. We were on our own for dinner.
