We weighed a very muddy anchor at 6:15 this morning as we have 1 lock and 53 miles to go today. It was foggy and here’s a picture of “Emery” slaloming through the lily pads in the fog as we head to the Heflin lock.
This area of the Tenn-Tom Waterway follows the Tombigbee River with all its twists and turns but it is wider in this section. Here’s a picture of the white cliffs of Epes which are a contrast to the usual forested terrain.
We are headed to Demopolis today and will have to make some decisions. Storms may be coming in tonight so we may stay put here. We have not really had to deal with storms yet in the past 2,000 miles which is pretty remarkable. The hardest part of the Tom-Warrior Waterway is coming up as we will have to anchor for the next 3 nights in small cutouts in the river as we head south to Mobile so we want to have the best weather possible. Stay tuned.
