WE’RE NOT MOVING!

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 17

I don't mean that in a bad way like the boat won't move.  We decided that this anchorage was too great to give up so thought we’d stay put for another night.  I did yoga on the front deck and John got in Marley and went to see the trawlers in the bay.  He came back and announced we were all going to do a dinghy run to the Visitor’s Center and take a little hike with the crews of Priorities, Annie’s Song and Odyssea.  4 dinghies, 8 people and off we zoom .  Marley has a 6 HP engine and the other boats had 15 HP’s but we kept up with them pretty well.  The visitor’s center was actually for the whole Tombigbee Waterway as well as the James Whitten Lock.  We walked out to the lock and got to see things from a different perspective, from the top down for a change.

After a quick stop for some gas we zipped back to the boat and bid our new friends goodbye.  Time for a swim.  We have been waiting for this. 

This is the first swimming we have done and we enjoyed the clear, warm water!

Embraced the serenity of the anchorage, threw some food on the grill and got out our books.  Tomorrow we will move to another anchorage here in Bay Springs Lake.
