When I rolled into Memphis, I was so happy to make it there in one piece. It was wonderful to find a Marina up and operating. The staff was very helpful in getting me up and in working order. This was no small task considering I had a broken paddle and torn off support for the pontoon. Chuck, the manager, drove me a half hour to get my boat fixed at a welder in the country. He also took me to get some great BBQ. Another man gave me all the epoxy and hardener I needed to fix my paddle. Within the span of a couple of days, my boat was as good as new. People weren't lying about southern hospitality.
