Here Don has been promoted from bosun to first mate. We are having a great time rolling down the river. The Mississippi is not a great place for pleasure boats!
Small towns along the Mississippi...
These are wing dams all along the Mississippi. They are just above (or below) the surface just outside the channel. They are meant to control current and reduce shoaling. Some are deep and create strong cross currents on curves in the river turns. Keeps you awake at the helm...
This is a boat anchored in front of us in Little Diversion Channel. We ran about 75 miles today with no locks and anchored for the night. Little Diversion Channel is near Cape Girardeau, MO.
Here is a view looking out of the small channel back at the Mississippi. The day before they had 4" of rain and the creek was really muddy with lots of debris floating. The muddy water flowing toward the Mississippi...
Well I flunked convection oven cooking. The food conatainer did not make for great food. Back to chips and beer. Lynn we miss you and your great cooking!!
