Melbourne to Chattanooga: Bobby's Fish Camp

When we woke this morning we were still in the same spot where we dropped the anchors, that's a good thing. We did however have an issue with the rodes, they had twisted around each other during the night. We had the bright idea of bringing up one anchor and unwrapping it from the other, I won't do that again. We spent over 30 minutes fooling with the problem... next time I'll try unwrapping the lines by swinging the boat around however many times is necessary. I put out both anchors because my beloved Skipper Bob book said to to so.... "if you've got two anchors then use them." Well, Sea Owl has two anchors on the pulpit, so why not use them?
Rob has been a huge help, he was a Sea Scout in his younger days and has a lot of knowledge about boats, navigation, docking and locking. Plus he's a fun guy to hangout with, I've been lucky to have him along.
The water was calm most of the way, not even a ripple... looked as though you could walk on it. We saw numerous egrets but not much else as far as wild life goes. The river banks changed from the previous day, no banks in the delta gave way to small rises in elevation and sandy beaches at most every turn.
We passed several tugs today and finally made it to the Coffeeville Lock and Dam just in time to start an hour and a half wait on a southbound tug, ugh.
Finally made it to Bobby's Fish Camp and will hang around until someone comes to pick us up on Sunday.
I'll check with the Demopolis Lock-master next Thursday to see how things are going, it's my understanding that the problem they're having could require a much longer outage than is currently anticipated.
