Rivers and More Rivers - Midway to Demopolis

Joy @ Sea rafted to Decisions at Anchorage

Each portion of the trip has had its own unique twist. Since we left Chicago, we have been more involved with others who are also doing this big adventure. Sometimes we go with four or five other boats down the river. Yesterday we were with one other boat (Decisions) who clipped along at the same speed as us. Then we got to one of the preferred anchorages as the day ended. As it turned out, the basin was quite small, making the swinging room uncomfortably close to each other. So we decided to "raft" our boats together with both anchors set. To top things off, Bob, Judi, and Steve invited us over for a steak dinner. Very nice!
After a nights rest, we awoke to find ice on the deck!

Demopolis Yacht Basin's Restaurant. The burgers were really good!

We actually call the cliffs "bluffs" in Demopolis, and Bluff Hall - a mansion downtown - takes its name from them. Imagine how impressive they were before the dam was built, raising the water level 20 feet! I loved jumping off of those bluffs as a child - good to see you enjoyed them as well.
