Just a quick post to let you know that we’re fine and traveling down the Illinois and Mississippi Rivers. Services (including marinas) are practically non-existent – we have stayed at a few but we have also been anchoring out and using the generator – a few days last week and today (9/11) until Saturday night when we get to Paducah.
On Sunday we will arrive in Green Turtle Bay Marina in Kentucky. We plan to stay there for most of the week so I will have an opportunity to update my blog, including photos.
We will need to figure out a new plan as to where to go next as there was an oil spill (9/9) in one of the locks on the Tenn-Tom Waterway. Clean-up is expected to take 1-3 weeks. Hopefully the clean-up will be ahead of schedule.
