We got going about 07:15; it was 71 degrees and mostly sunny. About an hour into our travels it turned to mostly cloudy with the sun coming out sporadically and by noon it was 82 degrees. We traveled 47 miles at 1600 RPM's, and went through 1 lock; Pickwick Lock and Dam and we went up 55 feet, all went smooth. Got together with friends for dinner; went to "all you can eat chicken" night at the lodge at Pickwick Landing State Park. It was good to see them again. Still no TV reception with our antenna; we haven't had any since last May in Demopolis, AL. We can't figure out what we are doing wrong because it was working good up to that point. Keith hooked us up to cable for the week since it comes with the slip cost.
CO's comments: Beautiful day. Started out at 8.5 knots and by the time we were about 1 mile from Pickwick Lock we were only going 6.3 knots at the same RPM's because of the strong current. After the Lock there was no current again.
