October 27 2013 Five Fingers anchorage in Bay Springs Lake

Down the channel and entering Pickwick Lake
Sunday morning we (5 boats including us) started preparations to leave.  All of us needed a pump out and some took on fuel.  So we had  a little line of boats leaving the dock and moving over to the fuel dock.  This took awhile but we were all finally out in the channel and proceeding south by 10am









Passing a barge
Through Pickwick lake it was really stunning scenery now that the tree's are all turning.  We passed a barge or two and a few power boats went by us.  One, a boat I helped in late last night remembered our boat name and commented on my fish blue felt pants which have been serving as my only long pants during this dismaying cold snap.  I'm becoming famous for my individualistic fashion styling I guess.





Anchored in 5 Fingers Palm
Our destination was an anchorage in Bay Springs Lake and the best choice for us was The Five Fingers, which is a bay with 5 or more branches projecting off of the main bay in a finger fashion.  We anchored in the Palm of the bay in 20+ feet of water and stellar scenery.  Only one other boat was anchored there already.  Lo and Behold it was Jeff and Karen on Acapella.  We rafted up 5 boats on our anchor in 20+ feet of very still water.  Wonderful!

















We initiated our usual planning meeting and then ate dinner.  I fired up the generator and made water and had the satellite on so Mary could watch the Packers for a while.  At half time everyone left and we, die hard partyers that we are, went to bed.
