Got OOB at 630 am pulled our anchors and leave finding that the front anchor did not want to leave, so i quickly learned how to reverse forward and neutral that boat to try to get that anchor loose. Swinging the boat to the right while in reverse did it! Whew were we relieved.  It was another quick learning experience. Love those. We took off down the river kickin it at 7.5 mph, I was in cabin and all of a sudden we slowed down fast. I thought oh no whats up now! To my relief i saw Steve with his fishing rod trolling for fish, he said, “i saw a bunch of fish on fish finder”. (By the way you fisherman on the waterway that was MM 269).  I laughed glad that it wasnt a huge barge headed for us. If you have ever been close to one of those barges pushing 6. They are massive, if one barely clipped us we are done the undercurrent that they create will throw your boat around and can suck your vessel into the waterway. We radio them when we see them and they slow and let us know the best side to pass them on. Its close on this waterway. It is a thrill to drive past them,  just the magnitude of the barges with that tugger pushing them. Well we kept on down the waterway and i have noticed that there is not a lot of wildlife along the banks like i have seen upstream.We are going to try to make it to Demopolis Yacht Basin in Demopolis Alabama. It will be the only marina to stop at for app a hundred more miles,  in which that is Bobbys Fish Camp in the middle of an islolated Tn Tom area. We will erfuel here.Once again we come in at dark with me and a flashlight on the bow/deck looking for markers and finally! YEAH!! I finally get to wash clothes. We noticed a huge Tugger and huge pilons so that they can refuel there. We went around the tugger into a narrow channel and tied up outside a big dock. The attendent there (Wayne) was very helpful and gave us lots of information on where to eat breakffast and all the marina amenities availiable. We ate at the resturaunt there and decided we would have been better off eating Ravioli back at the boat. This place was mostly a beer drinking pool playing area. They had a seperate eating dining room but it had a pool table off to the side looked like a Karioke stage. Must be for when the large crowds hit! I was told it was not crowded due to the Fri Night ballgames.
