Metropolis, Il.

55 low / 78 high Mon.   62 low / 68 high Tue.  1 lock today / 62 for 2014

A short post with marginal internet to let you know we still love you all. a 9 hour day yesterday to an anchorage in Little Diversion Channel. The Mississippi continued to look like a chocolate milkshake with currents up to 7 mph and tons of debris. I'm talking trees! Nice quiet anchorage and off early this morning for the last 49 miles on the M. When we turned up the Ohio River it was a different world, the water turned color, no debris and a lot fewer tows. We pressed on for a total of 8+45 which cuts our time tomorrow to Green Turtle Bay Resort and Marina. Pictures will be added to the last few posts once we get there.




Normally the speed is about 8mph

The wake of a tow!


Thanks Dad crew in Little Diversion Channel.

This was the entrance as we left the next morning.
