Thursday morning, 9/29/16.  It's early in the morning and The Lucky Lady is moving steadily towards Demopolis, AL.
We stayed at Pirates Marina Cove Tuesday night and met some really nice folks.  The best part was the visit we had from Jimmy's niece,  Delaney and her roomate Marty.  They're @ 40 minutes away at the University of Alabama.  They took us into town for pizza and shopping.

Yesterday got off to an interesting start.  Jimmy discovered that we had alternator problems soon after leaving the Pirates Cove.  He rowed the dinghy to the shore and met up with one of the nice folks we'd met at Pirates Cove.  Eventually,  Jimmy determined that he needed more tools and equipment than we had.  Close by however,  was a highway dept. garage and Jimmy was allowed to use their vice to hold the alternator rotor.  It wasn't long and we were on the move.  Every time the Lucky Lady has had a problem,  we seem to have just what we need waiting nearby.

We anchored in a good spot and now are waiting to go through the locks.  Didn't seem too cold last night, but was freezing this morning.   Can't complain.  The weather has been really good to us since we left Louisville.
