Friday
Miles Traveled 45.0
Total Miles Traveled 963
Day 51
Since we were only 6 miles from our anchorage to the next lock, we decided to leave later and let the other boats that anchored with us last night lock through together. We could hear the lockmaster at Heflin Lock on our radio, so when the group left the lock, we left our anchorage. While preparing to leave, two other boats going down the river called the lock and requested passage, so the four of us locked through at 10:30.
As we approached the town of Epes Alabama, the west bank of the river was lined with white cliffs. We’re not sure what type of rock this is, but it almost looked like white clay. Several miles of the river was lined with these cliffs.
Firebird-- 36 ft. Grand Banks
This yacht cruises at over 22 mph and pushes a lot of
water in the process. He was very courteous
and called us on the radio before passing, we both reduced our speed.
We are starting to see Spanish moss on the trees, I hope
that’s an indication we are below the frost line!
