We are on the Mississippi River.....218 miles of the Mighty Mississippi and as they say....."liquid brown mud".....
We depart from Hoppies Marina at 6:25 AM with 52 degrees on the bridge....Mile 158.5.....
We are the first boat to depart since we are at the end of the wall and if we do not hit a log crossing the river the other 6 boats will join us.
As far as Chester IL
Tower Rock Landmark
Mississippi is very turbulent
Bill Emmerson Bridge in Cape Girardeau IL
Neat shot
Little Diversion Channel....our anchorage tonight...mile 48.8
Where do I go for my walk?????
Our group of 6 boats plus one already there
Well you know......"Docktails".....
11 of us on the bridge
nice anchorage....no current which is good with this many boats
We have traveled 111 miles today in 10 hours
Steve handled the shuttle service to the Nanseann
Very shallow up by the bridge
When I went to download my pictures this evening my computer went south.....crashed....burned....I wanted to cry......so....so happy I save everything on a stick.....
Need to see the computer man when I get home.....but until then hope I can publish the blog.....don't know about anything else...
