Port Charles Marina, St. Charles, MO, to Hoppies Marina, Kimmswick, MO: After 10 days in St. Charles we were on our way again this morning. The boat looks great; we had it pulled and the bottom checked, we had the hull cleaned and a 3 stage buffing and wax, we had the small stripes removed from the bottom and had bottom paint put on up to the water line, and we had our props fixed and re- calibrated, again (this is the 3rd time), Boat is as good as new. It was good to be back on the water. We traveled with Layla and Warren from "Time Out" and went 64.4 miles to Hoppies Marina. Fern remembered us from last year (at least she said she did). We eat at the Blue Owl again and had a good evening. The Mississippi River current is still going fast; we were going 1700 RPM's and getting 13 knots!

CO's comments: Aren't those props good looking. We raised our bottom line 12" above the pretty stripes that used to be on the boat. All the stripes do are gather crap that will corrode the fiberglass on your boat. We are heading south to the Tennessee River. We will keep you posted.
