Making Progress on the Tenn-Tom

Yesterday (Wednesday), we got off to an early start. Seven boats left the marina at 7 am. We were able to get through the two locks (Stennis and Bevill) together. Only one more lock to get through tomorrow on the way to Demopolis.



It was a cloudy and cool day and the Tenn-Tom looked pretty much the same as yesterday. Alan said that it was 7 hours of his life he will never get back. Hehe. I could post another picture of an egret but how many pics does one really need to appreciate their beauty?

 

Due to lack of marinas and good anchorages below the Heflin lock, we ended up in a really nice anchorage at the Sumter Recreation area right before the lock. It was a shallow  (~5 feet) at the entrance but opened up with plenty of water. It was a little crowded with six boats but there was room for everyone. We  anchored around 2 pm.

 

 

 

It was a short day but there was no way could we could have made it to Demopolis. Looking forward to arriving there tomorrow!!
