SATURDAY, OCTOBER 18
The Loopers that is. The rendezvous is over and we are starting to see boats trickle down the Tenn-Tom. We
took the dingy into the Piney Grove campground and had a nice hike. Also took our shower gear with us and had a nice
shower while we were there.
We knew we wanted to change venues and find a different
anchorage when we saw 4 Looper boats on the horizon. Decided we better pull up the anchor and move
before they got there. Went into the
Natchez Trace Recreation area which encompassed 5 “fingers” of water any which
of we anchorable. We chose the middle
finger (no significance there) and plopped our hook down. Within an hour there were 4 more boats
anchored nearby. Come to find out that 2
of the boats were from our neck of the woods in Lake Michigan, Blue Willow from
Petoskey, MI and Patriot from Ludington.
Those 2 boats had rafted together and invited us on board for a drink.
Had an enjoyable time getting to know some fellow Great Lakers and took in a spectacular sunset! We anticipate that from this point forward we will be running into many Loopers all the way to the Gulf now. We are leaving with a group in the morning and hope to do as many as 6 locks...we'll see!
