On the Tennessee River

Today we came around a bend in the Tennessee River and saw movement in the water.  Was it fish?  No, it was a man and a woman swimming outside the channel markers.  Surprise!  These are some healthy folks.  (Notice the green can in the water:  That is the channel marker.)

I often think that anchoring is too much trouble: mostly when I'm trying to haul in the anchor, and it's heavy with hydrilla or the windlass won't work for me.  But here we are in Raccoon Creek, mile 396 off the Tennessee River, and it is a lovely, quiet night.  Two of the sailboats from Chattanooga just entered too.
