This morning we woke up just before six and continued down the river. By the time we got to lock 11 we felt we had a pretty good handle on the process and were starting to get relatively confident in our locking skills (Going forward we used lock 11 as our standard to measure our success though each of the additional locks). We went through another 10 locks or so that day before tying up at the Johnsonville Marina & Redneck boat club around 6:30 where will topped off on fuel, water, and pumped out our holding tank once again. The manager was nice enough to drive us and another group of folks to a local restaurant that would then shuttle us back that night. We had hopped to get some laundry in that night but it seemed everyone else had that same idea as well so we gave up about 9:30 and went to bed.
At this point in our trip we have used just over $70 or 23 gal worth of diesel after filling up I watched a 43 foot power boat drop almost exactly $1000 for about 300 gallons that he had burned up over that last 2 days. I figure we can cover that same distance in about 4-5 (long) days and will only use about $70 bucks to do it?
