Inverter now inverts....we'll see how long that lasts. We've been down this road before. Water tanks have been cleaned. We are ready to head for Mobile. Demopolis photos are posted here. It has been nice. We were tied up close to laundry and parking which made chores easier. Supplies were close and easy to find... Wal-Mart, they do make life simple when boat shopping. We'll pull away from the dock and keep left right into the river. The Demopolis dock is about 2 miles away. Our plan is to travel between 6 and 7 hours a day, at 7.5 miles an hour. We should have enough gas to make it all the way. It will take us until Wednesday to arrive. We plan to stop tonight at Highway 10 bridge. Folks around here keep telling us about a GREAT catfish place, Ezel's. We'll have to anchor and take the dingy into the restaurant...though I hear tell it is more of a joint. Should prove interesting in any case. Sunday night should find us at Bobby's Fish Camp, the only marina and gas stop between here and Mobile Bay. The next two nights are anchorings that I don't think you can locate without river charts. We plan to be in Fairhope, Ala on the 11th. Can't predict if we'll have Internet and or cell phone coverage between here and there. So this could be it until Wednesday....weather is predicted to be clear and warmer. We are ready.

YEAH! Inverter fixed, so far (cross your fingers). Are you still planning on being in Mobil by the 14th? Just got back from Bella Vista. We had a really great time. All four of us kids, Dad and Gwen. Rick drove most of the way. He is now back in Wichita boarding a plane to Dallas then on to Austin. Has enough layover to have some dinner. Hope you will be able to hear from us via e-mail or phone. If not, we will be waiting anxiously for Wed to come. Love ya. bb
