Nov 12 On to Aberdeen, MS

We were travelling the last couple of days with our Canadian friends on Ookpic and Salty Paws. The first pic shows Salty Paws in the Whitten lock, which seemed just as deep and any we have done so far. We could tell that the cypress trees along the waterway that we were starting into bayou country (next pic). We happened along an unusual sailcraft, a Telestar, called Star Hunter (3rd pic) from Seattle who had brought that small craft all way down the Missouri River that starts in South Dakota. StarHunter was with another sailcraft called My Song who grounded out in the entrance to the marina as they were following me in, so, instead they anchored outside the marina near the next lock. The final pic is a nice sunset indicating “pink sky at night—sailors delight”.
