October 14-15 Stopover at Clifton and then Pickwick Landing State Park

We stayed an extra day at Pebble Isle to reprovision.  I worked on the dripless shaft seal on the port engine, which had become a dripping seal instead of dripless.  We secured a courtesy car and shared it with the Spirit of Whitby who were from the United Kingdom, but doing the Great Loop.   The morning of 10/14, we had some of Andy’s cinnamon rolls for the third time (first pic – but I missed the roll).  Andy cooks the rolls for boaters every morning and supplies coffee as well.   We were off for a full day and made it to Clifton marina.  We just docked up and stayed on the boat for a short stay.  The next day, 10/15, we got underway to make it to Pickwick Lock and Dam, where we locked up about 60 feet to Pickwick lake.  It was late in the day and we found a good anchorage at Pickwick Landing State Park (next 2 pics).   Very relaxing, nice fall weather, and quiet.
