Yin Yang

We've been working hard since our last post. Morele made a big batch of meat sauce and red beans. Today she's making a surprise dish for Robin who arrives tomorrow. I bought a heavy duty polisher. The damn thing weighs 10 lbs. I've been compounding and waxing. After using that beast for a week my arms look like Popeye's after two cans of spinach. Unfortunately my stomach still looks like Bluto's.

Naked Pictures

This is a picture of our naked boat. We've removed all the storage bins, bikes, and other assorted necessities that were stored on the back deck and in the cockpit. Last time we arrived in Destin we were thought to be gypsies so we are trying to look respectable. My cleaning project has been interrupted by preparations for the possible tropical storm.

Welcoming Committee

This gentleman was on hand to greet us in Destin.

Monster Garfish

This garfish is hanging on the wall at Bobby's Fish Camp. Kinda makes you think twice about swimming in th Tombigbee River.

Rooster Bridge

This is all that remains of the Rooster Bridge.The bridge was made famous when a person with a video camera took pictures of a towboat hitting the bridge the overturning, sinking below the bridge only to pop back to the surface on the other side seemingly none the worse for the wear.

The bridge was later demolished when a new replacement was completed.

Demopolis Sunset

Sorry, about the delay since the last post but we haven't had an internet signal since our stay at the Columbus Marina. This is a picture of the river at Demopolis at sunset. Since leaving Demopolis we:
1) Ran to Bobby's fish camp and overnighted.
2) Ran to Mobile. Had to limp into Eastern Shore Marina in Fairhope, Alabama due to clogged fuel filters caused by a bad load of diesel we picked up at the marina in Aberdeen, Mississippi. Won't make that mistake again. Rented a car and drove up to Demopolis to pick up the car and small boat.
3) Ran to Destin arriving on Wednesday the 19th. Spent Thursday and Friday cleaning the boat.
Moved into a condo overlooking the marina.
We're looking forward to our stay in Destin.
