Columbus to Demopolis

Back in Columbus, Mississippi with our friends John & Susan.
 
 
 
They are such a baaaaaddd influence on us!  Friends don't let friends do dessert alone!
 
 
 
 
 
Our overindulgence required daily walks in the park adjacent to the Marina.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Captain Eddy puts on a stellar performance at the park's amphitheater.........
 
 
 
........and leaves the entire audience spellbound!!!
 
 
 
 
A gorgeous full moon rising over Spiritus in Columbus.
 
 
 
 
The National Crappie Masters Fishing Tournament was held in Columbus while we were there.  Over two hundred contestants put up $300 each in order to compete for the $60,000 grand prize!
 
 
 
 
 
Apparently there is fashion etiquette that must be followed in order to compete successfully!
 
 
 
 
 
 
Those of us who didn't dress the part had to settle for trophies & a hand shake instead of cash!
 
 
 
 
Some serious go-fast boats!!
 
 
 
 
Our Canadian friends came by to wish us farewell as we departed Columbus.
 
 
 
 
The First Mate decided that the swim platform is also useful as a nail salon!
 
 
 
 
The sun says "Good-Night" at our anchorage in Sumter Landing on the Tenn-Tom Waterway, between Columbus, MS and Demopolis, AL........
 
 
 
.......and "Good-Morning" as we get underway the next day!
 
 
 
 
Upon our arrival in Demopolis, we shared wine and stories with Jessie and Jean aboard their boat "Double J".
 
 
 
 
 
I  NEVER want to hear any of you complain about the price of filling your fuel tank!!!

  1. Don't take a wrong turn & cross the Atlantic Eddy - if you had bought your fuel here it would have cost you £1400.00 ($2370.00!!) John
