We awoke to rain and a dismal looking sky! It didn’t take long for the bad weather to blow out and we ended up having a beautiful day. The weather man missed his prediction by a country mile.
We took advantage of our layover and did chores most of the day. Barb loaded up a shopping cart that is furnished by
the harbor and pushed it to the town laundry, three blocks away. I stayed on the boat and scrubbed the slime and debris from the hull, which was picked up from the lock walls. What ever grows on the walls of the lock chamber has a tendency to stain and scratch the surface of the boats hull. Barb and I wear rubber work gloves when handling lines in the locks. If the lock slime gets on our clothing, it’s there forever. I changed the oil for the second time as we have cruised over two hundred hours on this trip. The boat continues to run well and shows no signs of surprising us with a problem!Barb and I walked the towns’ main street tonight in both directions in less than a half hour. There’s very little going on in this part of the world. Tomorrow there’s going to be a farmers market at the waterfront with live entertainment, this could be entertaining.
