Still traveling with Sweet Pea, as we retrace our travels back to Grand Harbor and the beginning of the Tenn-Tom Waterway.  Along the way, Lynda and Willow found time to take a nap in the warm sunshine.

Up to now, all the tows we have encountered on the rivers have been one tow boat and a group of barges.  Today, we met a tow that was two tow boats and a group of barges; something a bit different!

 Jim and Dale, on Sweet Pea, are from Massachusetts and are New England Patriot fans.  Bob is a fan of the New York Giants.  Conveniently this afternoon, these two teams were playing each other and it was broadcast as the game of the week.  We all gathered on Sweet Pea and settled in to watch the game.  Bob ended up being the happy fan, as the Giants won!  As the sun was setting over the Tenn-Tom Waterway,

we heard the plaintive sound of bagpipes.  Upon investigation we found that the boat behind us was piping the sun down, something he does nearly every night
