We traveled just over 53 miles and followed the tree lined winding river to Demopolis. Along the way we passed the white cliffs at Epes and weren’t disappointed. There was almost no boat traffic today, but we did see a couple of tows and one or two small fishing boats.

We traveled just over 53 miles and followed the tree lined winding river to Demopolis. Along the way we passed the white cliffs at Epes and weren’t disappointed. There was almost no boat traffic today, but we did see a couple of tows and one or two small fishing boats.
We
arrived at Demopolis Yacht Basin with The
Zone around 1:30 and found several other Loopers here. This tends to be a stop for everyone
to stay at least two or three days and provision their boats before heading back out onto longer stretches of water
and anchorages. There are two sections
of the marina and we were in the newer one (Kingfisher Bay) with nice floating
docks. However it requires taking a golf cart over to the old section to pay,
pick up a courtesy car, etc.
We
borrowed the courtesy car for an hour and went to the post office and stopped
briefly at Walmart.
We
invited Anita and Don from Limelight
over for dinner and had a nice visit.
The
rest of the evening was sent watching election returns. We were diligent about
getting our absentee ballots mailed in early!
We
will remain here again tomorrow and get some projects done.
