We made it to Demopolis, Al. Boat is scheduled to be hauled out on Friday afternoon. Needless to say, we have just a few chores to accomplish before that happens. All is good and we are scheduled to fly back to Wichita on Saturday afternoon. Looking forward to getting our land legs back. Will post more later.

One thing we've been able to do on this leg is trying out the inside helm station. The new electronics and the addition of the mini blinds has certainly helped. Still to be added is a depth finder. When the weather is cooler, this sure offers us more comfort and protection. Plus we are that much closer to the Diet Dr Pepper and candy. Notice the captain's new do.






AAAARRRRRGGG matie...bring it on.
Notice the flag blowing straight out...and waves waves waves....still managed to keep our sense of humor. Nope, just not having a bit of fun. Yea, right.



Three locks in one day...add a little rain and then top it off by traveling with that SNAKE...if I could have scaled that wall, I would have. This lock dropped us 85 feet. The largest we've encountered. Piece of cake...I've conquered that whole situation from the rope handling end. Don't try and get me behind the wheel...not interested. I take the front cleat, my boat hook, a rope and floating bollard ...any day, any time, any place.

Haven't been able to post any photos for a while...here's proof that we visited the Tennessee legend of the man who carried a big stick. Floyd's idea of cop heaven.
