Having left Port Charles Harbor yesterday, we anchored out in a small creek outlet on the Mississippi, 62 miles downstream. Today we left early b/c we had a 112-mile stretch to navigate. The river was swift, so that Miss Hattie cruised at 12-13 mph for the most part, but maxed out at 14.9 mph, that's a 5.9 mph push from the river. Miss Hattie feels young again! Now we're anchored in a small river with 4 other boats; quite well sheltered and peaceful (except for the duck hunters blasting away). Tomorrow we'll race our fellow nomads the next anchorage, some 48 miles away.

ReplyDeleteVery cool pictures! I have driven over that bridge and flown down that section of the river but I love the perspective from the water! We are headed to St. Louis tomorrow, sorry we missed you but love being able to follow you on your adventure.
ReplyDeleteThe aids to navagation are nuns and cans. Going up the ohio they change sides. Red right return. Great trip
