Mobile or bust!

Tomorrow at 7:00 am we hope to leave Demopolis and head to Mobile.  A group of eleven boats is leaving then.  We will have four long days of travel.  We may not have any internet or phone coverage in our anchorages.  There are no real marinas for the next 200 miles.  Isn't that surprising?  The world is about to become more quiet and isolated.  If we have coverage, I will post a note.

We are all fixed up and eager to go:  We've done 4 loads of laundry, mailed odd packages at the PO, gotten more quarters at the bank, stocked up on groceries, and visited with lots of loopers.  There are many boats here that we know.  We tend to know the boat names, then first names, and no last names.

We have two dirty chores for this afternoon:  getting water out of the aft bilge and the rear anchor lock.  We have a handy dry vac for this.  (We ran into some issues with the bilge cleaning which almost derailed our plans.  Mike, the mechanic, came over and reassured us, so we are back on track.
However, this kept me from giving George a haircut, which was going to be today's photo op.  Oh, well, he'll be shaggy until Fairhope.)

And so we bid good-bye to Demopolis.  See you in Fairhope, Alabama, on Sunday!
