Demopolis

On the way to Demopolis we pass the White Cliffs of Epps. They are in startling contrast to the trees and bush that line the big ditch of the Tombigbee. The name says it all-pretty. Demopolis is a little town in central Alabama and the Demopolis Yacht Basin and Kingfisher Dock is located about 8 miles from town. The dock is really nice and the good ole country boys that run it take good care. We meet back up with the marauders from the other day (they must go really fast from dock to dock and then use their extra time taking days in port). We also meet up with Dream II and Misty Lynn these are boats about our size that are getting their boats in position to do the Gulf crossing and eventually the Loop. There is also a sailboat with no sail, no reverse and no radio to communicate with locks and tows. We all agree we need to give the sailboat wide berth. We took the courtesy car into Demopolis and went to dinner at Smokin’ Joes. Nice to get off the boat and we even went to Walmart. Demopolis has up their Christmas Decorations and are getting ready to have their parade on Saturday. Notes: Radio out of Philadelphia, MS 100.1 Dixie Country --we like to listen to the local stations to get local flavor and local weather. We heard some country music person sing a remake of The Beetles—Revolution—interesting.
