No, we are not still in Demopolis.

10/30

We departed Demopolis early and tried to get into Chicasaw Bogue, but after three bumps against the sandbar across the entrance, we gave up and headed for Bashi Creek.

Slow Dance headed out on their own and left us in their wake.

This was a nice anchorage with one other boat, but we had a devil of a time getting anchored. The Creek is very narrow, and with a single engine boat, it took a lot of maneuvering to get turned around facing into the wind. We dropped the anchor only to have the wind switch 180 degrees and blow us out past our anchor. We then tried in that direction, but the wind died and we just sat on top of the anchor without getting it set. Since it is difficult to back perfectly straight with the single engine, we mucked about quite a bit before we finally got the anchor set to our satisfaction.

Gail left a note for the Captain in the log - Happy Halloween, Captain!"

10/31

Another early departure for the 82 mile trek to Three Rivers Lake. As we passed Bobby's Fish Camp, Slow Dance joined us.

At Three Rivers Lake, Slow Dance rafted up with three other boats. There was lots of room and the anchoring was easy, so we anchored a short way inside of the rest of them.

Another early morning departure, and we arrived at Dog River Marina about 3 pm.

11l2

Left Dog River at first light and proceeded to Pensacola.

On the way we where overheard on the radio by Tom Conrad. He and Patsy welcomed us home.

 We were met at the Oyster Bar on Perdido Key by Marco and Virginia White and their daughter, Kim with her three small children. Shortly, lo and behold, Tom and Patsy Conrad showed up and joined the fesivities. We had a little champagne and lunch, then proceeded on to Pensacola Yacht Club. We were met at the club by more greeters, Eric and Peg , Todd and Kirsten, as well as Rhoda, Marriane, Ginger, Ernie and Janie from Gail's lunch bunch crowd.

This is how our adventure came to an end.
