If It's Monday It Must Be Alabama

Today we are in Demopolis AL, about 200 miles from Mobile Bay.  We started the week in Alabama, got fuel in Tennessee, anchored three nights in Mississippi and spent one night at a Mississippi marina, meandered back and forth between AL and MS and are now back in Alabama until we reach the Gulf of Mexico. 

Soon we'll be back in salt water which I think will feel like home but I'm not sure why...  We've started making plans to come home to Richmond for Christmas.  We'll leave MAIA for a couple of weeks somewhere in Florida's panhandle or west coast.

It's been a scenic week; I'm running out of adjectives to describe the wonderful sights!

The next morning we tried to leave the anchorage but
had to re-anchor and wait for the dense fog to lift

Dave says we've finally hit the south now that we've seen
spanish moss

as if it were landscaped by man
