December 5, 6, and 7, 2013 Kingfisher Marina, Demopolis, AL

Thursday, called the lock and it was very foggy and there was a tow ahead of us waiting on the fog and he would go first.  We waited in our anchorage for about an hour and then got to the lock by 08:45.   Gayle Winds Again was in anchorage with us and we waited for them to get to the lock before we locked down.  We were out of lock by 09:45.  We got to Kingfisher Marina in Demopolis by 14:15 and Gayle Winds Again got there about 2 hours later. 

Friday and Saturday: Stayed 2 more days because of the weather and Keith had a big mess to clean up in the engine room.  We went to Walmart and got some groceries and to Napa and got oil and filters for our next oil change in Mobile.

Pumped out on Saturday afternoon; they have pump outs right at the slip and you pump out yourself.

CO’s comments: The more I think about it, since we are planning on doing the Upper Black Warrior River next summer, Kim Jo IV will not be going any further than Kingfisher Marina in Demopolis, AL, next summer.  It takes a lot of fuel to go all the way up the Tenn-Tom and part of the Tennessee River.
