What a peaceful night we had anchored out by Kelley's Island. This was a great place to spend the night. The stars are amazing when the clouds go away and there are no city lights to interfere. We traveled all day in cloudy, gray, cool, rainy weather. Are you seeing a trend here? We passed an area called Williamson Pond Slough. It made us think and talk about Jim & Joyce Williamson (only good stuff).
We pushed onward because of the forecast. We had to wait 2 hours at Pickwick Locks because they have one side closed like Markland. We had to wait while they broke down barges. We had intended to stay at Pickwick State Park Marina, but they are 3 years into a renovation and have no docks. Apparently, the state pulled their funds after they had just begun renovation. So, we ended up going to Grand Harbor on Yellow Creek. It was just getting dark when we pulled in to fuel up. We are staying here tomorrow as well because of the weather. There are about 7 or 8 other looper boats here. Most of them have just come from the Rendezvous. We spent 12 hours traveling in the boat today. That's more than we would have liked, but we are in a safe place now to ride out the weather.
Unfortunately, we realized when we hooked up electric last night that we accidentally left our 50 amp splitter at Paris Landing 2 nights ago. We called them this morning and they did find it. She said she would try to send it to Aberdeen where we hope to be on Monday.
