Delay

So where IS Last Paradise you ask? Well, we are here. Its a nice little place, just a few minutes drive from Tuscaloosa and the University of Alabama.
Why are we still here?
Well.
Because of this....

You see, this is the Selden Lock, one of the many locks that we have to transit through on our way back downriver to the Gulf. You might notice that there is a key ingredient missing from this lock.
Yep. Water.
Until they finish the work they are doing, we will be delayed here. Actually, we'll probably leave the dock and tie up to one of the old lock walls so we can get under the bridges while the water is *low*... It really is a finely choreographed dance, this sailing stuff. We'll keep you posted!
