Robert will need to cross his original wake in Pensacola Pass, that occurred on July 12th @7:53am central time

He is through the final lock and is now hammer down to the end ...

 

[redneck joe]

Ageless Wanderer update: Robert Youens, aboard his 16-foot Jon boat, has cleared the Demopolis Lock and Dam in Alabama as he navigates his way along the Tombigbee and Black Warrior Rivers there....

He better stop at Bobbies Fish camp for a bite.

The Tombigbee with the winding path at times and barges can be a challenge but I think in a Jon you might be able to react faster. I went Pickwick to Bradenton round trip 10 times on 3 different floating RVs. I would rather do it with a Jon boat.

I was a doubter that he would even make it. Glad he proved me wrong. Very enjoyable watching him along the way.

Just think if he hadn't run around. Overall that was a full day lost probably
