Week 6 (6/7-14/21)

Bashi Creek, AL (6/7/21) On the Tombigbee River there are few marinas and some tight anchorages. We found one in Bashi. We also started paying attention to things like currents, flood waters, barges and locks.

Demopolis @ Kingfisher Bay Marina, AL (6/8-9/21)

Big Prairie Creek on Black Warrior River, AL (6/10/21) Nice anchorage with homes scattered around. We went for a long dinghy ride, returned to the boat for a grilled dinner, turned on the anchor light, went to bed. We knew there were bugs out that night but nothing like the hatch we discovered the next morning. Due to need to conserve fresh water we hauled buckets of lake water to try and clean up before these creatures dried all over the boat!

Old Lock #8, AL (6/11/21) Anchored in fairly strong current but river subsided over night.

Holt Lake, AL (6/12/21) Used a mooring can just above the lock. Nice campground with dinghy dock nearby. This is where the water started clearing out again, nice swim and cruising.

Franklin Ferry Marina, AL (6/13-14/21) Cafe at the marina. Such nice folks, when Kent asked what we owed them for the 2 nights he said nothing. So we gave them a nice tip and enjoyed catfish and shrimp at the restaurant.
