The first of my catch up posts - A night on the Demopolis Fuel Dock

We returned to Demopolis Yacht Basin on November 5th following our little shake down cruise on the Black Warrior.  We tied up at the gas dock, as it is easier to get going in the morning once the lockmaster gives us the Ok to come through.  We still had a few minor items to take care before we could relax for the evening, that is if you call two frozen heads minor!  I guess you could say Tom was up to his eye balls in *#%&* or another way to put it; he was full of it.  Anyway, can't really anchor out without a potty so it had to be done.  We also came back from our shake down cruise minus one fishing pole.  The only bait we had was corn, a can of oysters I found in the cabinet, and stinky cheese bait, but something liked it because the loosely secured pole is now following some fish along the bottom of the river.  How many fish did we catch you ask?  That would be nadda, nothing, zero, but that means we don't have to clean any either! Tom successfully repaired one of the heads so off to theWall we went to visit with everyone one last time before leaving Demopolis. An evening of mixed emotions, excited about our new adventure, sad to leave good friends we made.
