5/22/17: Bobby’s Fish Camp docks Silas, Alabama – MM 149 = 26.03 NM

After a great night of land, floating docks, and dock-tails we threw off the dock lines. This next anchorage was again one we stayed at in 2014.

Seventeen miles by the crow flies, thirty miles by river.

After we anchored we grilled out on the back of Twelve Stones and enjoyed the cool breeze.

Everyone enjoying the cool breeze.

Captain by day, cook by night.

The anchorage is alongside the river and the Tug Captains are aware it’s a popular place for pleasure boaters to anchor overnight.

Big Tugs seem to get very close!

Staying on the river at night will certainly make you appreciate the expert Captains that run these tugs. It was pitch black on this night , even with the spotlight I am not sure how they saw anything.

Tugs come by at night and use a spotlight to see 

where they are going.
