It was raining at 06:00 but we decided to go for it and see how far we get so we left by 06:10. We had 4 Locks to go through today: Aberdeen, Amory, Wilkins, and Fulton. It rained in the first 3 but just before lock 4 it stopped; perfect timing. We locked through the Amory Lock about 12:00 and I watched a bird (I think it was from the Heron family of birds) sitting on the inside edge of the lock doors. The doors had little pockets in them that caught water and fish; at least today it did. The bird ate 3 fish while we locked through, a nice little lunch. We got to Midway Marina by 15:10 and by then the sun was trying to come out. We ate dinner at the little restaurant near the marina.

CO's comments: With rain all day long it sure was nice to have a hard top.
