| A nice, calm anchorage...plenty of water or so it seemed! |
Isn’t it great how
God sends people to us in the most unusual way for the most unusual reasons?
We had an enjoyable
afternoon working on projects…trying to update the blog, etc. Around 5:00 Charlie fired up the grill for
dinner just as we saw a flat bottom fishing boat approaching our boat. Charlie met them at the bow of our boat. A couple local men (I presumed it was father
w/grown son) proceeded to tell Charlie that we were actually anchored in flood
water. He said the river level was
dropping and while we had plenty of water under the boat there was a sand bar
at the opening. Once the water dropped
we probably wouldn’t be able to get out…even at high tide! GULP!!!
Needless to say, we
thanked them many times, loaded dinner on the grill, pulled up the stern &
bow anchors and motored outta there!!!
It wasn’t a long, drawn-out or dangerous situation – in fact, by the
time we were settled dinner was ready! YUM!!
This random act of
neighborly kindness is just one of the many reasons we continue to enjoy our
travels on The Lower Place. And another
reason we are reminded to show love & respect to one another. And being a good neighbor is always a good
idea even if you have no idea where the people live!!
God Bless!!
A side note regarding the choice of anchorage...our charts didn't define it as an anchorage but showed there was plenty of water. Always pays to honor the local knowledge!
