Monday: We are finally on our way. It is bitter-sweet leaving our friends at Bill's Bay but excited for what is ahead. We hit a few bumps this last week but it is good to be going down river.It was great to see so many of you at 07:00 on Monday to see us on our way. The day started great with a nice calm river but as the day progressed it got real windy and the current was very strong. The wind took Keith's Sea Ray hat and also his windsock. Lock 5A was so bad there was a houseboat that got caught up in the wind and current it was sideways and out of control; it almost hit several boats before it got under control. While we were waiting to go into the Lock Keith put the boat in idle and we were still going 6.8 knots. The good thing about the current is our gas mileage is great.
My Verizon Internet is not working and hasn't since we left Red Wing. As soon as it gets working I will post this blog.
