Reedville

This is a small part of the Reedville fishing fleet.
On Sunday it became clear that Deltaville was well beyond the distance we could make during daylight ours so we headed into Cockrell Creek next to Reedville.  The Cruising Guide said that the fish rendering plant at Reedville could make our anchorage malodorous.  After some debate we chose Cockrell Creek over some other choices that were either a little less protected (Fishing Bay) and some that were possibly more scenic.  We were happy with our choice.  There was definitely a strong odor of fish as we passed the fish rendering plant by a huge fleet of large fishing vessels but the anchorage we chose was beautiful and there was no odor of fish.

Gillean, a Valiant 42, singlehanded by Douglas was the only
other boat in our Reedville anchorage.

The water was mirror smooth and the scenery postcard
picture perfect on our way out of our anchorage.
