On Saturday we made the quick run from Aberdeen, MS to Columbus, MS. Chuck and Pip of the M/V Miss Pip graciously agreed to drive our car and boat from Bay Springs down to Columbus. They arrived on Monday. On Tuesday we rented a car and ferried our gear to Demopolis and on Wednesday we made the 120 mile run (three locks) from Columbus to Demopolis. It is now Thursday morning and we have decided to hold up at Demopolis until Saturday morning due to the forecast for thundershowers today and Friday. It looks like Humberto will probably head northeast and pull moisture up from the Gulf. Last night we had dinner at the restaurant in the Demopolis marina. The chef is very good. I had jambalaya, Morele had crab cakes. Both dishes were some of the best food we've had on the trip. I'm posting from the parking lot at the Demopolis library as the Wi-Fi at the marina is not working. Looks like we'll leave here on Saturday and be in Mobile on Monday.
