09/10/20 – Double Island Anchorage to Wolf Island Anchorage

Posted on by Kristin

Day 3

We had another peaceful and uneventful night at Double Island anchorage (if you don’t count the occasional late night or very early morning fishing boats that enjoy zooming right by our boat to wake us [and WAKE us]), we arose to bright, clear and HOT weather conditions.  Our travel time for the day was short, so we took our time getting up and around.  No surprises on the anchor this time – thankfully!

Riverside builders take seasonal flooding seriously on the TN River
Others who can easily move their homes when necessary reside closer to river level. Just build a metal roof for shade, and you’re good!
And if you’re only staying for a short period, no need to even bother with a roof!
Captain Steve waves as we pass a tow pilot and barge “port-to-port”, per the tow captain’s instruction.
More river homes along the TN River, nearing Savannah, TN.
After finishing this boating trip, maybe we’ll check to see if this place is available when we decide to move back on land.. LOL
Beautiful view from aft.
Lovely profusion of late-summer yellow flowers along the banks. (I need to identify these flowers!)

Another short and pleasant travel day, we arrived at our Wolf Island anchorage just in time for sunset and adult beverages.
