Day 180 … Tues, Oct 17, 2017 … 24 miles; 3:20 hours
Blue Bluff Anchorage to Columbus Marina
It’s been 180 days or 6 months on the boat full time. WOW, not sure where the time has gone. Doesn’t seem like that long.
Today is a relatively short day, only 1 lock and it is right by the anchorage. the 3 boats plan to pull anchor around 8:30 if the lock is ready for us. One quick call and the lock says come on over. HOWEVER, we get there and wait & wait & wait. The doors are open, but the RED light is lit. Lock doesn’t answer calls to them on VHF. Finally they call us in. I guess it wasn’t a long wait, maybe 15 mins, but when the doors are open and no one answers … it seems like forever.
Sights along the way today …
Days 181-186 … Wed-Mon, Oct 18-23, 2017
A Week at Columbus Marina / 00 miles
Traveling every day and anchoring out is fun, but tiring and leaves no time for chores. It’s travel, anchor & get the boat set, get Cally to shore, dinner, get Cally to shore again, sleep. SO … we are staying a week to get chores done without rushing and going to enjoy a little down time in-between chores.
My phone was not keeping a signal (cell or data) when Rip’s phone was (both Android, Samsung; but, Rip’s is newer model). One of the first priorities was to get a new phone for me and have time to get it set up and running correctly before we moved on the water again. 
Otherwise, we will do the normal marina stuff again – laundry, groceries, Rip cleaning and fine tuning our route (with plan A, B & C, etc.) for our next travel segment.
