First Anchoring in Muddy Mississippi at Little Diversion Channel (#57)

We successfully anchored on the Great Loop! We left early in the morning for our long trip (69 miles) to our anchorage in Little Diversion Channel. We had five boat traveling with us and were hoping the other two boats were leaving. The anchorage usually holds 6-8 boats.

We left on a spectacularly beautiful morning.

Laura never tires of seeing the barges on the river.

Ted directs the dropping of the anchor.

And then doublechecks our fuel bladder after emptying 1/2 the contents.

Koa Kai rafted up with Callie B.

Happy Giraffe stayed at the entrance.

Stay: 1 night

Location: Little Diversion Channel

Pros: Easy anchorage, protected from wind and river traffic. wonderful gathering with friends

Cons: Laura didn't like not being able to walk on shore and likes marinas much better!

Rating - Probably Great for an anchorage...

Still don't want to anchor
