Demopolis

What a peaceful night on the river.  Not a single tow went by after one that sounded like it was about ready to break down before we went to bed.  The fog wasn't quite so bad Thursday morning so we got to pull up anchor at six o'clock for once.  It was a quiet day on the river too.  Four tows passed us going south, but other than that we did not see another boat of any kind, not even a fishing boat.  Therefore our entertainment was the sighting of two pigs, a squirrel, a turkey, a bald eagle, and of course some turtles.  Nine hours later we were in Demopolis Lock where the lower end was 12 feet above normal and the upper side was three feet above normal.  Forty five minutes after that we pulled into the Demopolis Yacht Basin fuel dock where there was a bundle of debris to take on over 181 gallons of fuel.  A half hour later we pulled into slip A10 for a couple of nights.
We got to use the shop truck to go to town for dinner to eat great chicken wings at Batter Up.  There were a couple deer to greet us when we pulled back into the marina.
Today was a day of chores; washing the salt off the boat, grocery shopping and laundry done to last until we get to Chattanooga, etc.  We had a nice spaghetti dinner compliments of "The Bar-B" as our send off.  They are going to stay here a little longer, but we have to get back for appointments so we will be moving on tomorrow.
