Loop Boat Selah anchored next to Quiver Island.

There’s a free day dock at the Nature Center, so we tied Swamp Puppy up and went into town for the most exciting adventure: laundry! Afterwards we grabbed a bite to eat before shoving off to make room for the next Looper.

You can overnight at this dock for just $25, which I think is a great offering from the town.

We cruised less than 1 mile before reaching our anchorage at Quiver Island. We shared the anchorage with another beautiful Loop boat, “Selah.”

There’s a lot of current in the rivers (of course) but what’s nice about it compared to other high-current areas on the Loop, like Georgia, is that it’s not tidal! The current helps the boat stay in one position at anchor, rather than swinging around.
