Day 157 Bay Springs Lake

Pretty uneventful day on the TennTom - this section is known as "the Divide Cut". The waterway was constructed from 1972 till 1985 at a cost of nearly 2 billion dollars. We are now in Mississippi. Passed some baffles that look like checkerboard waterfalls. They are used to prevent creeks from rushing in on the canal/river. Moseyed along till we got to Bay Springs Lake, a beautiful serene area with tons of anchorages. We picked one located in the Five Fingers called Jugfish Branch. The sailboat, Roda Lee owned by David and Roberta, anchored with us. We joined forces for dinner and drinks making it a very pleasureable night. Heading through  5 locks tomorrow to another anchorage.
