Demopolis

Demopolis is a major goal.  Why you ask?  Because it is two hundred miles of nothing in between Demopolis and Mobile.  We left Gulf Shores Tuesday morning and passed downtown Mobile about noon.  We anchored about 12 miles above the city in a little cut off.  A storm come up and rained as hard as I have seen it rain. Lightening struck close to the boat and alarms went off in the boat.  No damage could be found but we did find eight small tree frogs living in various parts of the boat. It took us three days to find all them and return them to the water.  It didn't rain cats and dogs just frogs.  The past two hundred miles have been beautiful, challenging and tiring.  We were up before the sun came up today and stopped the boat this evening at 6:30.  We have had some really long days and we still have a couple of days before we reach our goal of Columbus.  More later when we reach Columbus.  Mike, Denniese and Maggie Mae
