Leaving early today to travel with Sweet Pea and Erika Lynn and we will travel 40 miles to a quiet anchorage. We will be locking at Bevill Lock and Dam. Jim on Sweet Pea suggested to leave one of the boat engines running to keep the boat near the wall and throw a line around the bollard in the center and see if that will help. Eureka! It worked!!! We handled the lock with ease. We had read that engines had to be off but no one seems to care. Thank you Jim! Great job Captain Ken!

| Bollard tied, cutters in hand in case it sticks. A successful lock! |

| Setting anchors for a night of rafting. |
Three boats anchored at Sunpter Recreation Area, bow, stern, bow. Bob on Erika Lynn is taking his anchor out by dingy to set his anchor. His wife Lynda and Jim helps him with the feat. With three anchors out we should be secure!

| Sunset at Sumpter. Great day boating with our new friends. |
