The trip from Demopolis was long but good. We have been 5 days without email service and only a few times did we have cell service. We met up we a couple of boaters traveling south at about the same speed as us and we were able to anchor up with them. Jeff and Linda aboard Jeremiah have two dogs and like us they had to find a place to take the dogs at the end of the day. It worked out great because we used Jeff's dinghy to transport the dogs. Maggie had a great time and may have sparked a romance with their poodle. She even attempted to go swimming with their Lab. At the end of the day we would raft up with them in a hidden river or inlet off the main river. Some of the scenery was unbelievable. I have some pics and hope to send one. We passed the convention center at downtown Mobile this morning at 11:00. It is 450 miles from Pickwick to mile zero. Of course if was not without --------. The engine stopped a couple of times, but thank the Lord it was not at a difficult time. We got some trash in the prop and it started vibrating. We had to stop and back up to clear it. But one night while rafted up in the middle of nowhere Denniese and I walked on the foredeck and looked up and saw more stars than we have ever seen. There were no other lights except the stars. What a wonderful sight.
We will stay here until after Thanksgiving. We have been invited to have dinner with some other Loopers. The host just stopped by and said he expected about 25 people. We will have fun and everyone will have a story to tell. Happy Thanksgiving.
