CRUISING ANDROMEDA



NEW EPISODE!
https://youtu.be/ajkYBGpADrk S6E22-GREAT LOOP 2-Silas AL to Mt Vernon AL Today is an emotional day, and we didn't expect it to hit us this hard. Our route takes us through Jackson Bend on the Tombigbee River—the very spot where, two years ago, we crashed Andromeda and suffered major damage. As the memories come flooding back, we're reminded just how quickly everything can change on the water. The past three days have already been long and exhausting, and today promises to be

https://youtu.be/BS6DLxt9O8k S6E21-GREAT LOOP 2-Demopolis AL to Silas AL We're up early again... and didn't need to be! The Demopolis Lock is right outside our marina, and we were told we'd be able to lock through at 6:00 AM. Of course, after we had already cast off, that got pushed back to 7:30.

But our day takes an unexpected turn when we discover some troubling news—the exhaust leak is back. With nearly 120 miles of river ahead of us and a goal of reaching Demopolis, Alabama before nightfall, the pressure is on. Every mile raises the same question: will the repair hold, or

The Fulton Lock is waiting for us just outside the marina, and today’s mission is all about timing. We’re coordinating with 14 boats to make this lock run as smooth as possible… yes, 14 boats! Looks like we’ve officially caught up with the fall Looper pack, and things are getting busy on the water. Today’s journey includes fou

https://youtu.be/PACLpK9RNB8 S6E18-GREAT LOOP 2-LEG 17-Iuka MS to Fulton MS We’re slowing things down for a day in beautiful Iuka — a chance to catch up on work back home, knock out a few boat projects, and enjoy some well-earned docktails with friends, both new and old, in an amazing setting. After our reset day, we’ll continue the journey 55 miles south through three locks along the scenic Tennessee–Tombigbee Waterway as we make our way to Fulton, Mississippi on our next st
