10/19 Tenn-Tom Waterway: "The Ditch"

After attending the AGLCA Rendezvous we headed back to the Grand Harbor Marina. We spent the night there and refueled and cleaned out the holding tank. 

Our next major destination will be Mobile AL.  To get there we need to take the Tenn-Tom waterway. This waterway was completed in 1983 and helped make doing the Great Loop much easier than using the Mississippi.  To create this, passage had to be cut to connect the Tennessee and Tombigbee Rivers. 

The passage that was cut is 12+ miles long with riprap sides. There are no places to anchor or tie up for the night.
