This Morning's Satellite Picture
With thoughts of cruising to Gulf Shores today we awoke to see this satellite picture. Lets see, shall we leave our safe, covered slip and courtesy car knowing this is coming? No way! It was so decadent being undercover when the rain was pouring down :-)
The 6PM Water Level Report
Friends, on a 22kt cruiser, went up to Demopolis on Monday. They were making a dash for it as the heavy rains were raising the water levels quickly. It took them two days to cover the 230 miles. They saw River currents climb from 1.5 to 3 mph as the Demopolis Lock and Dam water depths went from 44' to 53'. This helps confirm the advice to not start up the river unless Demopolis is at 42' or below.
