The marina was located at the entrance to Aberdeen lock and the 2 sailboats got underway about 0630, so we rushed to make the lock opening as well. We were underway by 0645 and through the lock by 0730. That put us on track to get to the Columbus marina by 10 am, because the forcast called for sustained winds of 20 mph and gusting to 35 mph. It was a good stop. We used a courtesy car to shop and get some supplies. And we cleaned up a bit. That nite was a loopers gathering with Muddy Waters, whom we had not seen since Killarney, along with Ookpic and Salty Paws. The next morning we got the car and invited the crew from Ookpic and Salty Paws to visit the Waverly Mansion (first 2 pics). The next 2 pics shows the group on tour of the grounds along with a magnolia tree that is over 250 years old. The mansion is now privately owned by a retired antique dealer who has outfitted the house elegantly with antiques. He lives in the mansion full time and does renovation work as funds become available. The last tour stop was the home where Tennessee Williams was born (last pic).
