Greenville

I woke up about an hour before dawn to a fairly violent thunderstorm and a tornado watch. But that was pretty much the end of it, and I got underway at first light.

The only real challenge today was in the afternoon when the wind boomed in from the west at 25 knots or so. There were a few stretches where we were going into the wind with a tail current, and the waves got up a bit. Normally I try to stay in areas where there is more current, but getting into lower current made a big difference reducing the chop. It was interesting watching the big tows blasting through the waves. I took a brief video.

I came up to town and dinghied ashore to get a couple of things I forgot in Memphis, and am anchored here for the night.

Tomorrow looks like a nice traveling day.
