We made it and total lock thru time was about 15 minutes, score one for the good guys!
McAlpin Lock Thru
The weather forecast was for a good morning and a rainy afternoon which was exactly correct. The river between Louisville and Canelton is pristine, very little development. Add that to the rainy afternoon, besides towboat traffic, no one on the river.
A rainy day on the Ohio
This allowed us to make very good time, 7.5 hours for a total of 120 miles. Score two for the good guys!
In route we passed Leavenworth Indiana, well known for it's luxurious inn and where Jenny and Dan opted for luxiourious accomadation over the modest venue of the Greenbriar in West Virginia (http://www.leavenworthinn.com/).

What a surpise to see our former Rear Commodore involved in a new business enterprise on the river after Leavenworth (Terry's Camp). We all wish Terry the best of luck!
We arrived at Rocky Point Marina in a steady rain and docked with little fanfare. The marina was recently purchased and provided a very good meal at their on-site retuarant.Tomorrow we expect to arrive in Evansville Indiana, a short 73 miles or so.

OK, I'm confused! You went through Markland twice? Or is the lock-through different from the dam? I have lots to learn for this trip! Hope things continue to go smoothly!
You are right, I McAlpin is the Dam in Lousiville, Correction made
