The past several days we have had some pretty amzing weather and great anchorages working our way up the Tennessee River, through Kentucky Lake and Pickwick Lake. Yesterday at the end of the day, we turned the corner into the upper reaches of the Tombigbee system and anchored at a place called Zippy Cove. Quiet and serene. We've pretty much lost the other boats we were traveling with and are on our own, except last night another boat in our anchorage was a loop boat, from St. Ignace in the UP. Weather has moved in with rain for the next 36 hours, but it is flt, and traveling in the rain for us is not an issue. The sailboat guys don't like it though. Came through Pickwick Lock mid afternoon yesterday and past Counce, Tennessee where my brother used to live and keep his boat. Today we are in a series of canals, reservoirs and will hopefully transit sveral locks working our way through northern Mississippi.
