Grand Harbor in Counce, Tennessee

Day #109: From last evening Mike and I played three games of cribbage, Mike won two games and I won one. We had rain throughout the night. Up at 6:30 A.M. for coffee, grapefruit and cookies. It is 58 degree this morning and raining. Mike working on the marinas and anchorages plan for the Tenn-Tom. We received a couple of text messages from "Tyche" regarding their trip experiences the last two days as they moved down the Tenn-Tom and dealing with the locks. We had great news this morning the GICW (Gulf Intercoastal Waterway) is fully open post Hurricane Michael. We have been daily monitoring on the Waterway Guide (www.waterwayguide.com) those marinas that are open/closed and fuel information down in the panhandle of Florida, and good progress is being made. Mike made popcorn at 10:30 A.M. as the Michigan game started at 11:30 A.M. CT. After 1 1/2 hour lightening delay Michigan beat Michigan State 21-7. Between our Verizon and the marina Wi-Fi we were able to watch the football game with only minor issues. The sun finally came out this afternoon with temperatures of 67 degrees. They are predicting frost for us tomorrow night. Mike and I taking some downtime this afternoon streaming college football (Wisconsin versus Illinois and Washington versus Colorado). Planning on watching Ohio State and Purdue this evening.

                       The announcement the GICW has officially been opened post-Hurricane Michael.                                                                                                                                                                       
                                                       It's almost Michigan football time!!!!
                                                                                     
                                                        We finally beat the Spartans!!!!
                                                                                   
                                                                Beautiful sunset tonight.
