We went out to dinner with our running buddies in Columbus
at Huck’s Place (Great!) and ran by NAPA where the manager had left the bla-bla
belt for Fugitive in the bed of his pickup.
Brad and Mary on Dollinger are
from outside Minneapolis and have a manufacturing plant there that has
something to do with hydraulics. They,
like Brian and Janis on Fugitive, are still very active in their businesses –a new
type of Looper—50 somethings using the internet to stay in touch with
business. After leaving Columbus on Friday, we made our way to Sumpter Landing to anchor by 3pm. It was so
calm at this anchorage we got television signal and saw in horror the massacre
in France—it got down to 35 degrees during the night - we needed to cuddle
anyway. Dollinger had gone on another 40
miles and a cool Hatteras took its place and made the run into
Demopolis with us. We are going to spend a
couple of days in Demopolis—it is a great marina but also we want to slow walk
to Mobile Bay—it is supposed to be stormy and windy on Tuesday and Wed. So if
we stay Sat and Sun in Demopolis (the fact that there will be great football
and NASCAR those days is a bonus) then we will have 3 days at anchor and go
into Mobile Bay on Thursday.
