Demopolis, AL

Wednesday morning was 26 degrees, foggy and frosty. We left in a hurry, 6:30, to catch the lock with a barge or it would have been about 2 hours before we could have locked through. The barge was the "Minneapolis" which we had locked through with the day before. They had traveled all night and were at the same place we were in the morning. There were 3 pleasure boats and the barge. We ended up driving from the lower station a lot more today because of the south wind and we cruised faster today to go 91 miles before dark. We are traveling now everyday with the couple from Kentucky, Tom and Sheila, who did this trip twice last year and know a few more tricks to getting through the locks and they know the river quite well. They have a new 45 ft. Formula boat. It was so nice of them to help us when we had problems and they are great traveling companions.


Once we got to the Demopolis Marina we decided to spend another day to catch up on things.
This marina has a great restaurant but we didn't get any cell service so that means we didn't get any internet service. The weather was about 70 degrees, we walked downtown for lunch, and just relaxed!
