Columbus, MS to Pirate's Cove Marina

We ended up today in Pirate's Cove Marina which was only about a 28 mile trip because the Captain wanted to stop at the snagboat museum near the Tom Bevill Lock.

While we do have a cel phone signal here and very good Wi-Fi, there is a scarcity of cel coverage for many, many miles along the river here.  That is probably what prompted the redneck humor evident in this picture.

Between the proprietor of this marina and a good friend who is a major gearhead, mechanic, boat racer and wheeler-dealer, I spent a couple of fascinating hours listening to fascinating tales about almost everything.

These guys were genuinely interesting and, in their own unique way, apparently very well off financially due to their amazing skills with horsetrading and boat salvage operations. 

I hope I make it back here some day to continue the conversation!
