Left Sumter Landing at 6:55 local time for Smithville Marina, arrive at 3:30 local time. Today we passed through five locks and covered 104 miles. This is about 15 miles and three locks longer than originally planned (Aberdeen Marina).
We have been very fortunate in hitting the locks when they were not busy. The lockmasters seemed very cooperative in calling ahead to the next lock to help our passage as well. I am sure this is not possible when things are busy on the Ten-Tom.
Smithville is providing a courtesy car to go to dinner. Harry is researching the possibilities of local fare.

Quote from the blogmaster: "The lockmasters seemed very cooperative in calling ahead..." It's probably the only good laugh they got all day...watching the crew of the Island Hopper "negotiate" the locks. Just kidding...you guys are making it look so easy, but the rest of us "amateur" boaters know better.
