We made it Demopolis Thursday evening and while riding around the compound, happened upon another Chinese junk. It's a real beauty . . .rather, it was a real beauty - - - long ago.
Friday morning brought us a visit from David, MaryJo and Megan Beaurele. They were on their way to Hattiesburg, MS and really close by. It was great seeing our old friends so far from home. Mary Jo gave us banana nut bread and we devoured it in record time. Shortly thereafter, we were on our way.
The landscape has changed considerably since leaving Louisville and it's amazing what you see when traveling on the water. We're on the delta now. Cypress trees with Spanish moss are everywhere you look.
Currently at Bobby's Fish Camp, Silas, AL. The fish camp is a place that anyone would love to experience. It's a reminder of days gone by. Had the catfish dinner with some nice folks, Mike and Shelly. Later, Mike and Shelly came over to visit. A local teenager just shined a spotlight across the Tombigbee River and spotted an alligator.

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.
