Leaky steering fluid 
Guntersville Lock
New method of looping line to bollard
Bit of trouble yesterday when The India Jayne lost steerage as we were the head of a flotilla about to enter a Lock. We managed to "crab" the boat out of the way and get to a shallow area to drop anchor. Then we rummaged all the storage looking for Steering Fluid. Found it, fixed it and proceeded to lock through. Kind of scary and took several hours. But the scenery was beautiful!
Gorgeous cliffs

Islands in the River

    Good job dealing with the steering problem! That could have gone south.
    How did you know it was just fluid it needed?

    Reminds me of a certain road trip but on the water.
