We are in Memphis

                                           Making biscuits

                                          In Memphis with the I40 bridge in the background
                                           MMMMMMMMM biscuits
                                                         Memphis from our slip
Sorry for no updates the last two days, but we have been in the wilderness. No Internet or phone service for the last two days (much to Sharon's dismay). It has been an absolutely beautiful trip so far. We have been going through some really remote areas. We anchored across from New Madrid Mo. Monday night. We ran out of water in our main tank, so I put in the six gallons we had in a jerry jug and then took our dinghy over to New Madrid  and found a bait shop close to the river and filled up the jerry jug again. It was nice to get to Memphis and fill up with water, gas and groceries. A friend of ours from Lighthouse Landing named Seth lives here in Memphis, and was very kind to take us to walmart and Home Depot. It was a great blessing to have his help. Our depth sounder has been acting up the last couple of days. So Seth went to The Bass Pro Shop, and picked us up another one. I will install it tomorrow. So far that's the only mechanical failure. We have been getting into a routine, and that's a good thing. Cooking on the boat is going really well. Sharon made biscuits the other day, yummm. So far we have gone 299 miles. Our next marina stop will be in Greenville, Arkansas. It's about 200 miles from here. Should be about 4 or 5 days if the weather is nice.
