After a small problem with our newly installed transmission oil cooler yesterday our trip was delayed another day. Today we are finally back on the water. It was a chilly morning but we left at 07:00 anyway. Other than a few fishermen, a few duck hunters, and 3 Tows we pretty much had the river to ourselves today. We had frost on the deck this morning and our power cord was so frozen and we couldn’t bend it. The temp was about 38 degrees on the bridge. Luckily the sun came out later and warmed the bridge up to about 70 degrees. Got to our anchorage by 15:30 and got settled in. It will be early to bed so we can get up tomorrow and do it all over again.

CO’s comments: The last time we were at this anchorage we needed the air conditioner and today we need the heater. I sure wish the XO had got through to me and I had listened to her and we left a month earlier. Never again this late. Next year we are heading south in August!
