Rocky Point to Owensboro

We decided to cut our day in half and stop in Owensboro, KY to allow the River to drop in Evansville before arriving there.  We are at mile 269 of the 450 planned miles.  We traveled most of the day in rain, including during the lock thru at Cannelton Lock and Dam.  Barb took the brunt of it as she was the line handler while I stayed dry (for the most part) maneuvering the boat.  The marina in Owensboro is very basic, and on the river.  Most things in town are more than a mile away because of a circuitous route around an industrial area, so we are hanging out on the boat catching up on reading, emails, etc. Additionally, a new system producing some heavy rain and thunderstorms, mostly over our projected route, so more delays are possible.

We will do our best to get to Evansville tomorrow, but after that is based on forecasts.
