Tis a sailor's life for me

We love to anchor out. It's the last frontier with being able to anchor outside a channel anytime you want. Enjoy the wildlife like no other. Peaceful and quiet.

Enjoying morning coffee and sunrise.

Flying the U.S. flag along with the Wyoming flag.
The wind was whipping.

10-7-12 Lake Wimico

The open water of Lake Wimico was a nice change.
Although it is a natural lake, it is very shallow so you need to stay in the dredged channel.

After leaving the lake, you are back on the ICW
(Intracoastal Waterway)

10-6-12 Chipola cutoff and Chipola River

Chipola cutoff (made in 1882) connects the Apalachicola to the Chipola River.  The current is swift and deep and very narrow.

Very little traffic

And very twisty

Chipola River runs parallel to the Apalachicola

If you're wondering where the "boondocks" are..... check out the Saul Creek.

Relaxed Apalachicola 10/5/2012

Feels great to be on the move again, but still have to watch those sandbars!
