Day 10...where has the time gone?

I’m going to try something new tonight. Type the blog in word and cut n paste to the blog so I’m not using up Dan’s wifi…we’ll see how this works.
To make up a bit from yesterday here is a picture from our marina yesterday morning when the fog set in.

Once we got moving we passed Cave-In-Rock IL. Where the river pirates used to hang out. Of course there was crazy river traffic at the time including a ferry crossing (you don’t have to be gay to ride a ferry)


We found one other thing you can do to pass the time while traveling at 7.5 mph on a boat.



We did get some sleep last night…but not much. Mt. Vernon is a very busy barge terminal overnight…who knew.
 We were underway before 0700 this morning and were tied up by 4:00. A good day but we didn’t quite make Owensboro, they didn’t have room for us. We found  a great little marina in Rockport, IN. This is a little river camp community with a nice dock and diesel fuel. We topped off and should be good for the rest of the trip and then some.

We are on track for getting home Saturday and I understand they are making our slip ready. After 10 days on this trip I’m ready to keep going….maybe we’ll head for Pittsburg. 
As I type this I'm listening to a live JB concert from Jones Beach with a full moon rising...I think we're going to like this lifestyle. I’ll close with a few more pictures.

                                                    The fog lifting this morning...underway at sunrise.

Tomorrow we will be anchored out. Until then.
