The October Birthdays Cruise

 Day 1. Left Kingfisher Bay Marina at 6 am with 11 other boats of all shapes and sizes. We had power cats, sail boats, cruisers, new boats and old boats. A regular fleet of boaters headed for the promised land of sunshine and crystal blue water. After locking through the Demopolis Lock and Dam we made 92 miles on the Black Warrior/Tombigbee Rivers of winding switchbacks arriving at our anchorage on the river across from Okatuppa Creek. We anchored nearby our boat buddies on Priorities and had a nice night’s sleep after several attempts at anchoring. Couple of glitches but with Tom’s mechanical genius at work got the anchor down manually and settled in. Enjoyed hot chili on cold night that got down to 39!
