Cool front

L 309 I'm getting some radio stations from Baton Rouge. I've been listening to Mississippi public broadcasting. (MPB) Its mostly classical music during the day. I'm not overly enthusiastic about paddling to an orchestra. Maybe Baton Rouge will have all day talk. My iPod has a radio. I can't overemphasize how important that device has been to me on this expedition. There's just so much swish, swish, swish of my paddle I can take. I have 2 solar chargers that I keep strapped to my bow. They have been working great. I have been able to keep my phone and iPod fully charged the entire trip. The rain started in the middle of the night and ended around 5. I had a pretty normal day except for the wind. A strong tail wind can be scary. The waves are building behind you and you can't see them approaching. Today I passed the diversion channel that the COE had to open when the river got so high last spring. The water was diverted into the Atchafalaya river to reduce the possibility N.O.would flood. Of course people who owned property along that diverted water were SOL.
