Week 8 (6/24-30/21)
Tombigbee Oxbow, Mississippi (6/24/21) Anchorage, passed
through 1 lock today. Took several tries to set our anchor as the river had been
flowing strong for a couple weeks. This is where the overflow from Demopolis
Lake is released so most sand/mud has been pushed down stream. We did finally
set our anchor in 30 ft. of water. Set out to nearby boat ramp for Bodie’s
chariot ride to potty spot only to find boat ramp totally engulfed in mud. Kent
and Bodie set out to get to grass, I got out to check the anchor and proceeded
to sink and fall on my butt! Decided to dinghy around the corner to the sand
embankment. High but doable and Bodie got his walk. On our way north we cruised
by some beautiful white sandstone embankments, old bridges and of course
enjoyed more beautiful sunsets!
Pickensville North, MS (6/25/21) Anchorage, passed through 2 locks today.
Blue Bluff Park MS @ Free Dock (6/28/21) Nope didn’t happen!
Coastal Cruiser has been a Great help to us, but off the target here. Had to
back down twice, off of trees hiding underwater, trying to get into this area.
Went to second entrance which was totally blocked with debris. Ended up going
up about 2 miles to another anchorage. Shallow going in but ended up a nice
area.
Fulton MS @ Midway Marina (6/29/21) 2 more locks today.
Cottonsprings, MS (6/30/21) 3
locks today, our tallest so far at almost 90 feet! Anchored out in a beautiful
lagoon, clear water, nice swim and rum beverages!
