We left Paris Landing State Park this morning at 7:00.  This time we did not leave our splitter behind like the first time we stayed here. :)  We saw lots of fishing boats today as we chugged along.  All in all, we cruised 69 miles is 7 3/4 hours.  We arrived at Perryville Marina.  We no more than got here when the Harbor Master (Billy) offered to call Monroe Restaurant for us.  He said they would come to pick us up.  He also said that whatever time they said they would be here, they would be here exactly on time.  No such luck.  We waited 15 to 20 minutes past the time we agreed on.  John was on the way back to the boat to cover the bridge and dash when the car pulled up.  He, therefore, walked back to the parking lot without covering the bridge or closing windows.  There was only a 10% chance of rain.  Well, we were about halfway finished eating when the rain started.  It lasted long enough for us to walk down the dock in the rain and get things closed up.  Then, it stopped raining.  Hmmmm....

We have about 81 more miles to reach our winter destination.  We probably won't do it all in one day, but you never know.

Sunrise.

 

I like this house and where it is situated.
