Day 292 – October 23, 2022 – Demopolis, AL to Okatuppa Creek Anchorage

  • 91.8 miles
  • 9 hours six minutes
  • 10.1 mph average speed
  • 3-6 mph winds

We started the day with seven Loopers leaving the marina and locking through Demopolis Lock (40′) together before we all ended up at a few different anchorages. Perfect Match and Summer Place had planned to anchor at Okatuppa Creek and Summer Place ended up rafting to Perfect Match once we were in the anchorage.

There was a lot of tow traffic but they were smaller (6-9 barges) than the tows we were used to seeing on the Mississippi (15-18 barges). We also saw the smallest tow we have seen which was pushing only one barge.

We saw a pair of bald eagles and three alligators although we did not get photos of the alligators.

Only one barge!
