Bashi Creek to Three Rivers Lake Anchorage



We departed early this morning just before sunrise, our plan was to travel 82 miles and at 8 miles per hour that is a 10 plus hour travel day plus one lock. It is too dark to anchor comfortably after 6:30, lock transits are generally ½ hour to 2 hours so we left early. The weather generally has not been a problem and the forecast was again for mostly sunny cool in the morning 50s with a bit of fog and warmer in the PM low 80s. Today should be our last lock on this trip to Florida, Coffeeville lock will lower us 34 feet to sea level, the water will be tidal from here to Florida.
