April 29, Day 308 – Fruitland Cove to Six Mile Creek

We got up early this morning after a very peaceful night. The water was flat and we’d had no critter noises whatsoever. We were underway by 8:30. Our destination today was back to Six Mile Creek. This was the place with free dockage at the restaurant if you ate a meal. We figured we could handle another meal for a free night.

The trip today was under blue skies with a wispy cloud here and there and water as smooth as glass. Gerry amused himself by playing his bongos and singing along to the music and Linda rode on the bow, where she couldn’t hear him much, and read. We arrived at our destination around 3:30. There were 3 other boats there, but still lots of dock space.

After doing a few chores and getting cleaned up we went to the restaurant for dinner. After dinner we walked down to the end of the dock, chatting with the folks on the various boats. There were a couple of MTOAers that had some questions about our Great Loop trip through Canada, so we spent some time talking with them. After that it was back to the boat where we soon went to bed, again serenaded by the local critters.

The water was dead calm this morning as we started out

This is the Seven Sisters area -- it's seven small uninhabited islands surrounded by water with lots of neat places to anchor. At one point we had planned on anchoring here, but we decided to press on to Six Mile Creek.

At the end of the day we still had flat water -- that's the kind of day it was. Not much different to take pictures of as we've already posted pictures of the scenery on our way up the river. All in all though, not a bad day.
