Kerm here,
We were in this anchorage before on our last loop. But back then all the other boats were already anchored and all we had to do was tie to them. This year, we had to anchor and have Misstickle reverse anchor into us and tie along just in case the wind changed. A couple of tries and we got a good dig in although on the first try we picked up a rope. Oh dear, well at least not a tree. We had a nice game of cards with Misstickle, dinner and off to bed as we had to wake up early to beat a storm coming in.
Currently we are in Demopolis for what I hope is a couple days of R and R but we'll see what the morning brings. Right now, I'm just happy to be tied to something that is firmly attached to the sea bed.
When you pull up an anchor after digging in for the night you bring up this black gooey mess that sticks to everything so when we got to Demopolis we broke out the hose to clean up the mess. When Chris pulled up the anchor and trip line this morning she looked like the tar baby from Song of the South.
Did an extensive check of all the engine room stuff and am glad to say that everything was in order.
