ORINOCO moves south to warmer weather


The good ship Orinoco with its crew of three including Robert, Captain, Patty 1st Mate,Maggi Therapy Dog and guardian of the boat, are now in Alabama where the temperature is 60+ degrees.
We had the boat pulled out in Demopolis ,Alabama and the bottom cleaned and zincs changed.  We had a ding on one prop and Robert filed it smooth again.
The weather was very windy and we had white caps on the river as the water rippled from the south.  After 73 miles, we stopped at Bobby's Fish Camp on the Tombigbee River and ate a huge fresh catfish dinner.
It looks like we are planning Mobile for Christmas!  Do hope Santa has us on his radar.
