On the West bank of the Tombigbee River south of Demopolis AL. I tied to a tree stump there, well out of the channel to avoid barge traffic. I sometimes go to great lengths to find a tie instead of anchoring. Setting and retrieving anchors is just plain work, and sometimes the anchor doesn't hold. Or it holds too well and it strains my back to pull it out of the mud. A 13 lb. anchor can weigth 50 lbs. with a ball of mud on it the size of a watermelon.





The same location as above, view more toward the bank. Only a few minutes after the official 6:02 AM sunrise. No one around for many miles. This is about 200 river miles North of Mobile, AL.
