The next day we started out in the rain. It was calling for showers, but with light winds, so we decided to make way in order to get closer to our fall destination of Mobile Bay, Al. We headed out with Ookpic, Salty Paws, and Osprey through the Columbus lock and then we picked up speed ahead of them to try for a good anchorage about 70 miles away. The whole mode of travel has changed from summer to fall. Now, without daylight savings time, it is very important to get to safe harbor by around 4pm, since sunset occurs at around 4:45 pm. We have never been so focused on hours during daylight in our lives than now. So, onward as quickly as possible. You can never guess what you might see on the rivers in Mississippi in the middle of nowhere (first pic). We got to Sumter Recreation area for a great anchorage, well protected from winds. We had about 15 minutes of daylight, so the next pic shows the anchorage the next morning.
