Day 15 - September 28, 2012: The wing dam anchorage at mile 102

This mile 102 anchorage is reported by Hoppies as one of two that are possible between there and the Ohio River (158 mi).  So we started out early in case it didn't work and we needed to go on. We met Joel and Debby in a beautiful blue hull Fathom 40 the night before and decided to cruise together.  On arrival we did find plenty of depth and managed to fit our two boats plus 3 sailboats and had room for at least 3 more. Success!

Fathom 40 named Water Music

Anchored with bow/stern anchors

Here is the view we had out over the rock wing dam. The tows continued to go by most of the night but never bothered us.

Having arrived early we had some time to relax and play. I rowed the dinghy for exercise, motored her out into the river, and got some sun on the roof deck.
