I'd had my limit of iced tea last night, so I left Rich and Dawg at the bar in Cincinnati and went to bed. Fortunately, the V-berth has a door, so I closed myself up and left the task of putting up the steerage tarps to two drunks. Here's what I found when I opened the V-berth door this morning. That's Rich in his black sleeping bag on the floor.
It was very windy today--and cold. But no fog. (It did rain, so the streak is unbroken.) We left Cincinnati at 8:30, and thought we might make it to Madison. We only made it to the Markland lock. When I called the lockmaster to see if we could lock through, he told me it would be between 3 to 4 hours before we got through. There is a marina about a mile upstream of the lock, so we stopped here for the night. Again, we're not the biggest boat here. That's us on the end.
While we were hanging out here, a wooden boat club came in for the night. They're traveling on the river, and there's a motel across the street. My favorite is Old Sweetheart.
