October 29 - Demopolis AL to Silas AL

It was quite cold this morning, but the sun was shining - what more do you need! A few miles after having left the marina, we came to the Demopolis Lock. Since we had to wait 45 minutes, we explored a small inlet - home to the U.S.C.G. cutter Wedge. After locking through, we were treated to a great sight of the long spillway spreading water over the rock ledges. Not wanting to go all the way to Bobby's Fish Camp, we decided to anchor out in Bashi Creek.  Once having arrived, we found a rather narrow creek in which another boat was anchored. Not being satisfied with the anchoring space left for us, we decided to continue another 26 miles to Bobby's Fish Camp. Six years ago we, along with the Bloughs, had our Thanksgiving Dinner at this spot. Besides the fact that the floating docks now have power, not much has changed. The last 10 miles to Bobby's Fish Camp were covered by the light of the moon.
