Hurricane Sally is the big issue for everyone in the area now. After looking at the forcasts Sunday and Monday, getting all the boat chores done, we decided to pull out of Demopolis and head north. I was tired of being in one spot for that long anyway and cleaning up spider shit was getting pretty old. We left Demopolis yesterday morning and put on 65 miles or so, putting distance between us and the hurricane. Did the Heflin Lock mid afternoon and anchored last night in a delightful swampy oxbow at mile 278 on the Tombigbee. Today will go another 60-70 miles, a couple of locks to Columbus, MS where we might get a slip and explore the town and see what they have for thrift stores. Cindy got some pretty good treasures in Demopolis. It's cloudy, flat and forecast is for occasional showers today but nothing ominous and we are safe.
