| Tie up at Lock 8 |
Wednesday: Slept late and got on the river by 09:30. Same conditions as yesterday with all the weeds and junk covering a large portion of the river. We found out that the Tow Captains were having the same trouble as we were.
Water levels were so high in some areas (Mile Marker 675 by Lancing, IA) that both the green and red buoys were under water. I spent most the day looking through the binocular to help Keith find the channel; thank goodness for GPS.
As you can tell, we finally got the Internet working again. That's a load off my mine. It's good to be caught up. So far we are on schedule, averaging 53 miles/day.
CO's comment: If you don't have a competent XO for a trip like this, you're up the creek without a paddle.
Great to hear from you guys! This is going to be so fun to follow!
