Nov 17 Underway with a pack of boats

The Demopolis lock was only about 1 mile away from the marina.  We had 11 boats underway by 7am.  The first pic shows a trail of boats exiting the lock.  The problem with running in a pack is that there are no marinas for the next 220 miles only a couple of potential anchorages.  One boat was 112 feet long, so they would take up a whole anchorage alone.   But, we divided into three’s with fast boats going the farthest so that the slower boats could have the nearby anchorages.  We went about 90 miles that day and got a great anchorage on Okalupta creek (next pic).
