Demopolis

I'm not sure Demopolis, Alabama is a destination place for many people, but all Loopers have to stop here.  The next fuel stop is Mobile and that is over 200 miles away. So, anyone going down river stops here for fuel and repairs.  The last time I stopped here was in 2003 and it was not a welcome site.  It was in the Spring and the water was high with lots of trash in the water.  The marina was in need of repairs and so on.  So I was not looking forward to this stop.  We were surprise to find a new marina that has state of the art everything.   The courtesy car was a Mercury Sable with 156,000 miles and had not had any thing done to it in a decade.  It got us to the grocery store and that's all that counts.  I worked on the engine yesterday and feel good about the repairs and Denniese cleaned the boat.  Anchoring out is fun but you bring a lot of dirt on board.  We are going to drive over to Hoover, AL to visit John and Beth and Denniese's grandchildren.  If you want to start a business, here is the spot.  There are no rental car agencies in this town.  Not even a tote your note car lot that rents vehicles.  Our only choice was a 17' box truck form U Haul until a fellow Looper loaned us his car.  Denniese took a picture of me working on the engine.  Hope you enjoy.
