After a “planning meeting” (code for cocktail party) the
previous night we were all prepared to leave in the morning. We pulled out of the slip and to the fuel
dock for a pump out and while that was being completed I fetched the dinghy and
hooked it up so we could tow. And then
we were off with Airn E in the lead followed by Just Fakin it and us. Good Grief followed later in the day. Southern Belle was also traveling with us and
had left before we did so they were leading about 2-3 miles ahead of us.
The river was calm and very scenic. It was a little cool, a warm fall day by my
guess. Not much boat traffic, only one
tow and a few other pleasure craft. So
it was a lazy day on the river broken up by occasional outburst on the radio
between us. We were all using channel 69
to talk amongst our selves.

We eventually arrived at Cypruss Creek and waited as
Southern Belle maneuvered in to the cove and around a Mainship 40 already
anchored., We followed in and rafted up
to them but didn’t drop an anchor since they already had one down. We eventually got everyone together, a raft
up of 5 boats.

Had
a party shortly after and invited the occupants of the Mainship 40 over too. Turns out they were from Canada which
delighted Jeff who’s also a Canadian. It
was quite the fun evening. The moon was
out on a clear night and we were in a quite cove with no other boats
around. We all broke up around 9pm and
headed for bed after a few hours.
