U 436 Really foggy this morning. The tow boats has to pull over. I used my GPS to stay in the channel and got a couple of hours of paddling in without being able to see anything. Sweet. I did locks 16 & 17 today. Lock 17 had a tow boat and 18 barges waiting to lock through. I had to wait 1/1/2 hours for my turn. My status as a retiree ment nothing. Looks like I'll meet jenny in Hannibal Mo. On Thurs. I need to make 30 mpd to get there. Here's hoping.

Dave,
ReplyDeleteThick fog..hadn't thought about that..you could have been de-boated by anything. Thursday looks like a GREAT day for you. Wishing you no more "gas lines" at the locks. keep paddling..glad that Bruce
gets to join the commentary.
Dave, looks like you get another rest on Thursday, careful in the fog, those barges come out of no where I am sure. Keep on paddling, Pat
ReplyDeleteYo Dave,
ReplyDeleteCAT 3 Single in a Kayak? Think about you down there every time I fly over the river on the transcons. I always get a "really?" or a "Wow!" from the F/O when I tell them what you are doing.
Let me know if the rations run low, I will open the window and toss out the first class snack basket.
Keep paddling that whiskey river,
Tim
