The next morning it began raining around 7am. Good Grief went off to the nearby marina to
fuel up while we waited in the sudden rain storm. It was very cool, dark, dank and rainy. Have to endure the bad while enjoying the
good.
Good Grief returned after about an hour and we paraded out
of the creek with me in the rear since we require a foot more water than the
other boats. No worries though. We made it out and resumed our journey south
in cloudy skies and brisk temperatures.
Luckily we have heat on the fly bridge so it was comfortable for us.
We made water and did some laundry after I started the
generator. Met a few tows and I talked
with several boats we met going North and one going south. Busy waterways and chatty boaters.

| Entering Beach Creek Island anchorage |
Our intended anchorage was
Beach Creek
Island at Mile 153. Since we had left a little later we didn't
arrive there until 4:30. But the anchorage
was very deep and wide. And empty! Perfect!
We came in and dropped about 150’ of chain and put on the snubber and
the other boats came in and replicated the rafting arrangement we had the
previous night. No planning party though.
We just agreed to leave around 8am and that someone would blow their
horn around 7:45 to roust anyone still sleeping in. It was a quite night. Guess all these placid travels on the river can be exhausting.
