PEACE AND TRANQUILITY

Pulled out of Grand Harbor and bid farewell to BULLISH, our 108-foot dock neighbor these last few days.  Never did see the owner, just some ill-mannered crew. 


Got onto the Tenn-Tom Waterway in earnest.  We navigated through what they call Divide Cut.  It is the northern portion of the waterway where they cut through the backbone of land and stone dividing the watershed between the Mississippi and the Gulf of Mexico.  




Very pretty initially and then it turned into miles and miles of levee.  There were these baffles, pictured here, they are intended to slow the velocity of the water coming into the river.  It all empties into Bay Springs Lake and there we found anchorages galore!  




We chose a spot they dubbed the “oasis” which was only big enough for 1 boat.  We dropped the hook and were stunned at how beautiful it was.  Calm and smooth as glass. This is the best anchorage yet (I know, we keep saying that!).  

On the way in we saw 3 trawlers anchored in a neighboring bay.  Thinking one of them may be Priorities who we hung out with on the Ohio.  Will go and try to hook with them tomorrow.  Tonight we just want to enjoy the peace and quiet and stars!
