The Muddy Mississippi Day 5

 It's odd being about the only boat headed south. 
 Lots of barges headed north causing numerous waves.
This tug had 21 barges.


Wyatt's navigating but John really doesn't think he can make it between the buoy's.  Which is the Illinois side and which is the Missouri side...decisions decisions.


It's a good thing we are a close group of friends since we've had to spend two days totally inside the boat.  John really likes having lots of people telling him what to do.
We even think we could have fit a couple more Captains on the boat.

Called it a day and tied up to a 50' dock usually used to fuel diesel vessels.
Cocktails and dinner in Cape Girardeau.
They filmed about 50% of the new movie "Gone Girl" here.



Pumpkin Spice Martini's yum, yum.
