Owensboro to Evansville

We left Owensboro around 9 am for a relatively short 30 miles to Evansville.  There, we planned on deciding whether to wait a day for better conditions, rent a car and go home for a while or push on. We decided to push on, mostly as a result of today's river, which should be no worse over the next two days.

The river was misty until later in the afternoon, with intermittent rain

 While in Evansville, we visited the LST museum,which was right next to the Marina.

As a side note, yesterday while entering Cannelton Lock and Dam, Barb was trying to push some debris away from the front of the boat when she dropped her boat hook in the water.  She uses her boat hook to loop the line on the bollard in the lock which holds the boat.  She soldiered through and did so by hand and a broom but today fashioned a boat hook from a broomstick, a bent spoon and electrical tape.
