River Current Doing 2 to 2.5 Knots Sharpies Dream has never travelled this fast except once. It seems going down hill has its virtues. Spent the first night on the Missus at Hoppies, the last fuel for 218 miles. Bought an extra fuel jug in Grafton, 15 gallons (U.S.) on deck. The second night was spent at the Kaskia Lock and Dam against the wall, nice and peaceful. The 3rd night was spent at the diversion channel, on the outside corner of the bend with wiers set up underwater to increase the flow, you know what that means when you go passed the entry to the anchorage " for all you Simon and Garfunkel fans" ... Slip Sliding Away !!! ...and then try to get back against the current.
Whew, we did it ,suddenly Dianne needs the loo. The next day took us to the end of the Missus and entry into the Ohio. .... to be cont.
