Travel day

We made 72 miles today with only 2 locks to pass through. ( I think the 5 locks in one day yesterday may stay our record.)
The weekend on the river is pretty wild. Tons of boats. Even the pontoons here are fast. We've seen several with I/O drives and stright pipe exhausts out the back above the waterline. They load 15 people on it and go 60 miles an hour. We saw one pontoon boat with twin 200 hp outboards going so fast that when it jumped a wake, the entire boat left the water. Not sure why they want to go so fast, all they do is stop on the beach and set up camp. However, they may be better mariners than I think because the first thing they do when setting up camp is get out the sextent.
