Saturday, June 5, 2010

We had decided that on Friday we would sleep in and only travel 40 or so miles. We left Bobby's Fish Camp at 7:50 A.M. So much for sleeping in. We were only a half hour later leaving that the day before. We anchored out just north of the State Highway 10 Bridge. We did the bow to stern thing again and didn't swing at all on anchor. We were completely tied and ready to relax by 3:00. That was kind of nice to have some time to chill. We had leftover fish for dinner, played farkle, and then John got out his guitar and we sang until we couldn't think of any other songs to sing. What an enjoyable evening.

Today we got underway at 7:00 A.M. and hoped to reach Demopolis Yacht Basin. We had only seen one barge and one fishing boat all day until about 8 miles before the Demopolis Lock and Dam. Then 3 boats our size or larger, passed us. Their names were "Lady Michigan", "Last Chance", and "Galati". However, we all locked through together and we all headed into Demopolis Yacht Basin. We arrived here at 2:30 P.M. John says he'll be happier here this time than on the way down river because now he has his satellite TV. No more PBS.

We had dinner at the restaurant here at the marina. The food was good and the air conditioning was wonderful. By the time we finished dinner, our air had cooled the boat down and made it quite comfy. We will be here at least until Thursday due to the refrigerator issue.
