2015 AGLCA Fall Rendezvous, 10/14-17
We arrived a couple of days early at Joe Wheeler State Park, Rogersville, Alabama
to get situated and the boat organized.
A few were here already, most coming after to total about 70 boats. It
was quite a sight to see as the marina crew ran from one dock to another to
assist with landings of groups of 5 or 6 at a time. Someone flew a drone taking pictures:(http://mkmartin.com/csa/JW2015/).
We had 4 days of classes on route
details, navigation, medical preparedness, safety issues and marine communications. There were group breakfasts, lunches, beer
and wine receptions and dinners. The 265
participants got to know each other and exchange information and travel plans. It was a great experience.
Sunrise. Spiders get to work.
This years' cotton crop
This morning most headed out
enmasse with an organized plan to get through the nearby down bound locks
heading to the Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway that leads down to Mobile and the
Gulf of Mexico.
We will wait on that
and continue up river towards
Chattanooga for a side trip, chilling here for another day to let the crowd
disperse a bit. No class today!
