Demopolis Yacht Basin, Demopolis, Alabama

Cloudy rainy day today, we were glad we had planned to stay here.The men checked engines, I did laundry, then this afternoon we went into Demopolis and did our shopping. By the time we got back, they were again  rafting boats together. There are 4 rafted together on the other dock, two sets of three on our dock, plus the two of us. The tows come in on the other side of the dock here for fuel; we had read that perhaps they would give  tours, so we asked when one came in tonight, and they agreed. This particular tow has a crew of 7, the deck hands and engineers work 21 days on, 21 days off. They have 2x2000 horsepower engines. Wayne and Eddie asked about some other engines they saw, they are for the generators. This particular tow had stopped for a crew change, so people were coming and going. We ate dinner on Dream Fever, then watched a movie, Captain Ron, with our Texan friends, Nancy and Eddie. Still cool, raining off and on. Plan to stay here again tomorrow, then head down the river on Friday.
