Last Tango
Sorry to hear about family illness. Hope it wasn't serious.
I am ready to go and every time the weather is great, there is always the up-river 'thing'.
This is killing me - the next 7 to 8 days will be perfect boat travel weather. Sunny, 0% chance of precip., moderate temps and low winds.
So whats the problem? The latest storm flood related problems such as fast down river flow with logs and furniture.

National Weather Service Advanced Hydrologic Prediction Service This will be the first lock and dam we will hit.
This past Sun or Mon, the river was down to 13 '.
Assuming no new major storms hit, I figure the river will be down to normal by a week from today. Then I would give it another 2 days for most of the debris to clear.
Yesterday, I spoke to 2 people. One on the phone up just upriver of the Tom Bevill Lock and Dam and the other in person that drove down from the Demopolis Lock and Dam. It was not sounding good at all. The guy north of the Tom Bevill said that up there, north of the dam is fine but everything south of it is one heck of a mess. he owns a small marina up there. The guy that drove down from Demopolis keeps his boats (yes, plural) here on the coast. He drove over a few bridges and also went near downtown Mobile and described the mess to me.
Feel free to call me anytime. You still have my number in your PM's?
