North Star on the Great Loop Journey: Aqua Yacht Harbour Yellow Creek Mississippi

We left Green Turtle Cove on Tuesday morning and have been anchoring out on Kentucky Lake and the Tennessee river ever since. As I suspected, we did not have Internet access. It was nice to be back on the hook as marinas can be crowded. We like the quiet and privacy we can find on the hook.
Tuesday night we anchored in Fort Heiman Cove (N36 30.041' and W088 03.538'). We had a visit from a local pontoon boater who told us a little of the history of Fort Heiman and neighbouring Fort Henry. We were actually in Kentucky here. They have made a prairie and imported Buffalo and Elk to try and re introduce them to the area. We did not see any since the shoreline was thick with trees.
Wednesday we anchored in Birdsong Creek (N35 50.112' and W088 01.731') after being warned that the channel was too tricky. Nothing is too tricky if you pay attention to your charts and your depth sounder. This anchorage is on the Tennessee ee river. We had a visit from an other pontoon boater who shared some local knowledge of the river. A deer ran across the anchorage.
Thursday we anchored at Jeter Towhead (N35 25.571' and W088 00.619'). We did nudge the muddy bottom on our way in but found good holding and a pleasant anchorage. The water is clean and 77 degrees so we had a quick dip.
The Tennessee river is the nicest of the rivers as far as scenery goes. There are white cliffs and dense forests with rolling hills. The water is fairly clean and there are very few tows and no debris. There are beautiful houses and hardly any industrial installations. The fall colours are starting to come out.
Last night we anchored in one of the beautiful coves on Pickwick Lake in Tennessee at a place called Dry Creek (N35 02.073' and W088 10.154'). It was a little choppy and the weather has turned cool but we managed to spend a beautiful night and got some boat chores done. We are now at Aqua Yacht Harbor on Yellow Creek which is the beginning of the Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway. We will stay here a week at $120 for the week. They have cable TV, Internet and all the usual amenities including a courtesy van.
