Reflection and Falkor tied stern to stern in the Little Diversion Channel
.
"Reflection" and "Falkor" started out at 6:30 a.m., not only because we wanted to be out of the way of the Army Corps of Engineers before they started moving their barge equipment near our dock, but also because we had a 69 mile trip to make to an anchorage at Little Diversion Channel. This spot is only a narrow cut in the west bank of the Mississippi where a few boats can hide from the current and barge traffic of the river, and such safe stopping spots are rare. We arrived about 1:30 p.m., each vessel dropped a bow anchor in opposite directions, and then backed up slowly to each other and tied our sterns together. We did this so our boats would not move during the night in this very tight situation. No other boats entered the anchorage, and outside of our getting slightly waked by two bass boats motoring by quickly in the dark (and it was VERY dark), we had a quiet, peaceful night.
