Day 101 – Wednesday, September 22, 2010

089°12.725’ W
37°01.699’ N
The Mississippi River and I-57 Bridge (7 miles from the Ohio River)

Stay between the buoys??
Tonight we were at anchor in a very nice cove a few hundred yards from the I-57 Bridge that crosses the Mississippi. There is a 1.4 mph current in the channel that flows into the Mississippi River, which keeps the boat from swinging.

Today was another long day due to a late start due to a storm that started about 3am. Around 9:15 we got under way in a light rain that stopped a few hours later. The sun came out the rest of the day was beautiful. Again we had to dodge trees and other debris that were dislodged from flooding north of us. We are all looking forward to the Ohio and Cumberland Rivers that haven’t had rain.

Tomorrow will be another long day but at the end of the day we will be in a snug marina, Green Turtle Bay in Kentucky.
