Day 11: The last night on the canal

We got a bit of a late start today as we decided to take advantage of the free pump out facilities in Holly. This was my first time doing it myself but we did not run into any issues. It’s amazing how stinky that thing gets. For some reason our tank does not empty all the way so I tried filling it and emptying it several times, this & cleaning the bilge has really seemed to help a lot with the smell on-board.

Today we passed by a number of nice little towns along the way. Most look fairly depressed but do seem to have a town restraint, bar, and a few junk shops (my enduring term for antique or collectible stores). Our last few locks tonight we amazing, the sun was just right for the perfect evening light, a number of the flowering trees had dropped their peddles and it truly felt like we were in a Japanese style painting. I attempted to get some pictures but have not looked at the camera yet. For now like rest of the pictures I will upload a bad cell phone picture that will not do the scene justice at all. We ended the day tied up to a lock wall; looks like it will be a short day tomorrow?
