Leaving Demopolis


November 9, Sunday. Leaving Demopolis

We rose at 4:45.  Tim was not certain if he even wanted check the motor.  No leak, some water but not much, and we were leaving come hell or high water (literally).There was some fog, but we figured that the power boats would wisk it away for us

We left the marina with six other boats, locked right through and cleared the Demopolis lock at 6:53 in the morning.  YAHOO.

The guidebooks suggested that we look back at the dam, Water from the spillway rushes over ancient granite rocks.  and it is the prettiest dam we have seen.  I


Demopolis Dam


The sun started to come out, the fog has dissipated, and the sun makes all the difference.




Kathy at Barron's Landing


We anchored at Barron’s Landing.  It is actually just an indent in the river, but tucked away enough to keep us out of the channel, and away from harm. About 47 miles, and about 8 hours of river time.

  1. That's dam pretty indeed. Just now getting caught up on the official blog - expect new comments along the way. You know me. How can I read without commenting?? :)
