We enjoyed our first time ever anchoring in this Tombigbee River oxbow below Heflin Lock. It was peaceful with many stars and not even a single bass boat went by.

We lifted anchor at an early 6:30 a.m. with lots of steam coming off the water from the cool air temperature. It was a relatively uneventful 49 miles of travel that took us about 7 hours. We pulled into Demopolis' fuel dock only to find the jokesters Fred and Matt telling us that they were out of fuel. All of that was planned with "The Bar-B". Once the joking was over we took on 141 gallons to fill up from our 532 miles of travel since the last time. Although it was not as cheap as Chickamauga Marina we figure it will be some of the cheapest on our trip.
Once we were done with that and got ice we moved over to slip B3 at Kingfisher Bay. We quickly said hello to Bob and Barbara, but then got right to chores so that we could get everything done and be on our way again tomorrow. We washed the boat, pumped out, filled the water tank, and did laundry all within a couple of hours. From there we went out to eat at Batters Up, the only restaurant in Demopolis we feel worthy enough to eat at, then reprovisioned at Walmart. Unfortunately, even Batters Up has been crossed off our list after this experience.
