When we arrived back at Alton Marina, we were lucky to be reunited with fellow Loopers Kevin and Steve on Lone Star, Pam and Phil on Inspiration and Forrest on Pura Vida, among others. We then travelled with Lone Star down the rivers to Green Turtle Bay. On these sections of the rivers, you do need to stop due to the mileage but there are no marinas. So we were able to find a few places just off the river and out of the way of the tow traffic, to anchor. We had a very nice push from the current while on the Mississippi, and actually pushed 20 knots at one point when we opened it up. Had a beautiful moonlit nite one night at anchor. Mists in the mornings. A nice ride all around.
