Demopolis Yacht Basin

Demopolis Yacht Basin

Good day Americans – its Sunday in Demopolis Alabama.  We stayed in the marina today and listened to Mt. Pleasant Church service on the podcast.  Since we got to a restaurant and a grocery yesterday evening, we didn’t want to bother with getting a car etc. to go into the town.  I did laundry, worked on a design for a wool pillow, and exchanged 6 books I have read for one I have not yet read at the Laundromat.  Almost all the marinas have a bookshelf where you are welcome to leave some and take some – it keeps the inventory down on the boats.

Dennis worked on various boat chores, and helped another boater with some anchor lines in preparation for the next stretch of river.  Then at 5, we walked up to the shore and visited with people from many different states.  One couple doesn’t really know what state they “live” in as they live on a houseboat, but also like their sailboat and RV.  What they don’t like is standing still.

This marina is also a stop for the river tows, we were getting fuel in a high speed pump for pleasure boaters but they also have a quick couple rig for tow boats that pumps 7300 gallons per hour, that is about $28,000 dollars per hour. Wow!!!

I made crock-pot beef stew for supper and we will spend the evening watching a mini-series on John Adams and the American Revolution.  So we are well fed, fully socialized and intellectually stimulated.  I guess that’s a good way to keep score for the day.
