Pickensville, AL-Demopolis,AL

There are changes in the river and the scenery as we move farther south. We noticed each passing tug boat captain has more cajun accent as we get closer to the coast. We rested well our first night on the anchor as we were in a protected cove away from the channel. 14 locks completed, with only 2 to go before we are back near sea level.
Day 10
Traveled 37 miles, passed through 1 lock, anchored in Sumter Recreation Area near Gainesville, AL
Day 11
Traveled 54 miles, passed through 1 lock, docked at Demopolis Yacht basin in Demopolis, AL. We followed a fellow boater "Lady Margaret" out of our anchorage at 6:30 am in fog. We had frost on the deck this morning!
Day 12
Off Day, resting, laundry, resupplying and keeping an eye on weather front moving in, trip planning

"First night at anchor-Sumter Landing"

"Yes, there is a boat we are following through the fog."
