Today we covered 98 miles from Demopolis to Bobby’s Fish Camp. We moved right along and even got through the Demopolis Lock right away. We had to stop here at Bobby’s to insure we had enough fuel to run hard and cover the next 118 miles to Mobile. Yeah---civilization at last and ONLY one more lock---the last of the 103 locks on this Loop adventure. This part of the trip is what our grand daughter , Megan, would call boooring!
There is nothing to tell about Bobby’s Fish camp except it is a bunch of trailers and a fuel dock—it is kind of the armpit of Alabama. In fact, the picture almost makes it inviting, but you can’t see the old house trailers and the trash surrounding them. You dock yourself, walk up the hill and ask them to turn on the fuel. Then you fuel and walk back up and pay. Talk about slow fuel. There is no pump, it’s gravity fed. We’re tied up here for the night—no electric service and no water yet they charge for dockage. Thank goodness for the generator and our sufficient water tanks.
AWEIGH will leave here at dawn’s early light!
