We left My Vernon about 8 am, and cruised on towards Evansville. There are not many bridges over the Ohio in this area. As we neared the railroad bridge near Henderson, KY, a train was crossing.
We made to Evansville about 2 pm. Lots of industry and barge traffic just before town, but the downtown riverfront is nice. Complete with a typical casino boat.
The casino is built to look like a paddle wheeler, but it's just a barge moored to the shore.
We're staying at Inland Marina in Evansville. When we arrived, we plugged into shore power, turned on the AC, and took a nap. (Ninety degrees today.) They had us stay tied to the fuel dock--next to the gas pumps and the fuel storage tank. We decided it might not be in our best interest to grill steaks off the back of the boat, so we walked up the hill to The Tin Fish for dinner. They said it was "seafood". Seems to me it should be called "river food".
After we took showers, we discovered Dawg and I matched--almost.
This is the turn around point. We start southbound tomorrow. I have red and green clips above the helm to remind the boys which side the buoys and marks should be on. I switched them tonight.
