Alton, IL to Kimmswick, MO; Hoppies Marina

Friday: Got an early start and went straight through Lock 26; had a real hard time holding onto the rope as it was very windy. Lock 27, in the canal before St. Lewis, was just the opposite; very calm. We shared the lock with a small Tow and barge and a Kayak (pictured); he was going to New Orleans. Got a good picture of the Arch in St. Lewis and we made it to Hoppies by 12:15. After we got settled we walked to town and had lunch at the Blue Owl-Very good. Later we sat down with Fern and she went over all the dangers of the river ahead-picture of Fern and me.
