| Departing The Anchorage |
1000-Arrived at my final anchorage. Traveled 9.2 miles on Leg 12 of this trip. Anchored in 10' with mud bottom. Well protected from SW. Will do dishes then decide whether to swim or have a hot shower.
1115-Set out clean clothes and all I need for a self clean up. Just need to jump in!
1340-Finished downloading the latest photos and video to my external HD. Time for a swim.
Saw a fishing boat, 4th of the trip.
1605-Made dinner of shrimp gumbo, salad, rolls, and a cold beer.
Washed the dishes. After the sun goes down I'll take my last swim to cool off before bed. I will stow the forward Bimini near sunset since it provides some shade. 83F/87F!
1640-Pontoon boat came by to visit. Curious about the boat. Said it is a small town and inferred everyone knew I was out on the lake for a couple weeks.
1745-Heat is intense. Went for a second swim. I'm ready to go again but will wait until later.
1940-Took my third swim before bed. Feels great! Thank you Lord for this trip, for keeping me safe, for the beautiful places, and for the peace and solitude it brings.
