We are in Greenville MS

We are anchored out in front of the Greenville Yacht club. They wanted $82.50 for us to get a slip. It wasn't worth that to us. We filled up with fuel and water, bought a bag of ice , and left. We have good Internet tonight, but are still running on battery power. Electric sure would have been nice, but not for 82 bucks. They were reasonable on gas though, $2.89 a gallon. I was surprised. We are being attacked by hundreds of bugs right now, I had to close up the boat. We didn't go anywhere yesterday. It was rainy and cold, we had a good anchorage, so we just stayed put. We will be leaving in the morning, our next stop will be Natchez MS. will be there a couple of days, as we have someone there to help us restock. The sun came out today. What an attitude adjuster. It felt good to be on the river again. We followed a large tow all day today named Crimson Jim. He was going about the same speed as us, so we had him in sight all day. Talked to a bunch of tows on the radio today. I am starting to get used to dealing with them. They are defiantly getting bigger now. We follow one the other day that was 10 wide. The river is getting eider to though. I tried adding pics, but the Internet is to slow. I will post some as soon as I can.

I tell everyone to AVOID the Greenville Yacht Club, I was going to get fuel there but the attitude wasn't worth it, let all cruisers know, GYC is not worth the stop, the city of Greenville is dandy though ( and there is good anchorage by the casinos)
