Roy El went by our marina about 07:00. We got a late start because we had to wait for a part. The mechanic got to the boat about 08:15 and he changed all 3 generator filters.  It appears to have taken care of our problem. Keith went to the office and paid the bill while I got everything ready on the boat and we left at 09:40. It was a sunny day and the river was just beautiful again this morning, smooth and calm and hardly any debris to speak of. We made real good time and made it to the Heflin Lock by 16:00 and he had us in and out within ½ hour. We got to our anchorage and tied up to Roy EL by 17:30. We went a total of 70.4 miles.  We ran the generator for about 3 hours tonight and so far all is well.  Elvie cooked tonight.
