Wednesday, September 14, 2011 – Rattlesnake Bend, mile 224 on the Tenn-Tom

 
 
 
We were only about 50 miles from Demopolis and the plan was to stop about seven miles above the marina and anchor at Rattlesnake Bend for the night. Blue Heron and Motu left Sumter Landing just before 9 am and pointed their bows south into light breezes and sunny skies. The morning temperature was 75 degrees with a forecasted high in the mid-90’s.


We motored past several miles of beautiful white cliffs along the waterway. The going was easy and by 4 pm, we were anchored and enjoying a light breeze. One husband and wife came by in their small fishing boat to visit. They were staying at the little campground up and around the bend and were out setting their trot lines.

The three of us got together for dinner aboard Blue Heron. Of course, the menu included fresh bass.
