Here are some pictures of the living space inside the boat. The India Jayne has a forward stateroom and head, an aft stateroom and head, galley down, salon and lower helm station.
 
Under the galley stairs is the entrance to the engine room and an all in one washer/dryer unit. It works quite well actually.
 
There is also an aft patio deck and a fly bridge with the upper helm.

We departed Aqua Marina on 11-13 and anchored out for the next two nights. Peaceful settings with birds swooping by and fish jumping out of the water....

We pulled into Columbus, Mississippi on the 15th. Weather said storm was due in 2 days so we decided to stay put for the wind and rain. We ended up staying a week waiting for the high water and the debris to subside. While we were there we borrowed the car and checked out the area.


We see so many beautiful sun
sets on the water.
Found my photo of Tennessee Williams childhood home.

Plantation Home 

beautiful grounds but it is winter now





Quite surprised to see my dining room chairs in their dining room!

















We left Columbus through a flood of water hyacinth blocking the entry to the lock. The rain had carried the hyacinth down river until it stopped up at the lock. We went very, very slowly...








Friends on this sailboat needed some assistance. Their engine overheated in the hyacinth and we towed them to the side of the river where they anchored just barely off the ship channel. There they stayed for over 24 cold, scary hours waiting for a tow. The tow boat couldn't get through the hyacinth!

 

Here are some views on the River.



Some real estate on the river

Making our way to the next Marina. I know it looks peaceful but the wind was coming up.

Ah...found it. Entrance is only 4 1/2 ft deep.

We tied up across the dock from this boat. Wow, that was some storm!
