Well after Wednesday’s less than a full day’s journey and we
decided to stay an extra day at anchor – Windham Anchorage at mile marker 286 is
quite pleasant, protected from the wind and provides a great view for river
traffic. So this morning we were greeted
with fishing boats trolling to and fro.
Not a problem for us as they were friendly but probably thinking “what
are these people doing with a boat this size and not fishing?”
NOTE: There are no pictures of the fishing boats...just in case today was a "sick" day...just sayin'.
Around mid morning Charlie and I along with Pat and Cathy on
Southern Cross lower our dinghy’s for a couple hours of exploration! What FUN!!
We saw more fishing boats in the back water and a few looper boats when
we ventured into the main river channel.

It’s amazing what you can find along the river banks. Like something named “Next Level Jugs” – a
catfish float. The most interesting
discovery is the address of the maker…is a “down the road neighbor” to our
daughter and her family! A “down the road neighbor” is someone you know in the
community. I sent this picture to them and they confirmed…Mr. Fryery, your
merchandise has been exported to Alabama!!
And we’ve seen a LOT of them – good for you!!

Next Level Jugs - perfect fishing equipment! Give 'em a call! |
There weren’t a whole lot of photo ops since the river banks
look the same and I tend to only travel with my phone packed in its own PFD
(personal floatation device). I’m trying
to remember to take pictures with our actual camera – I promise once we frequent land again the quality of photos will improve!
Speaking of land…tomorrow we will pull up anchor around
daybreak and head south the Demopolis.
It will be a long day (70 miles) but Pat & Cathy need to have a few
odds and ends checked out on their boat.
They have an appointment for Monday, so we will be spending the weekend
in Demopolis!! Charlie & I will
explore some of the sights and sounds and maybe learn a few factoids to pass
along!!
We will be at Kingfisher Bay Marina
in Demopolis Friday evening and then play it by ear…
Enjoy your own journey - life's an adventure, not a destination
