The Kentuckiana guy came back at 8:00 A.M. to finish working on the boat. He did a thorough job, even cleaned up after himself. We did another sea trial and then, finally, left Jeffersonville, Indiana at 10:30 A.M. We went right into McAlpine Lock with no waitng.
This stretch of the river is pretty and undeveloped. Today began the part of our trip where we have never been before. We ran 7 hours and passed 1 pontoon boat, 1 kayak, 1 fishing boat, and 2 runabouts. We anchored out at Upper Blue Island (the island, however, is gone) across from a noisy gravel plant. John contacted the first towboat after anchoring, to ask if we were out of the way. He told us that we were in a perfect place to spend the night. After running all day, John checked the engine room. His report was, "No runs, no drips, no errors. The thing is finally fixed."
We heard from Mike and Linda. They got through Markland last night at 9:30 P.M. and went on to Lighthouse Point Marina, arriving around 12:30 A.M. Unfortunately, they had to go back to work on Wednesday. "Sorry, Mike and Linda."
