Saturday we anchored out south of Wittenberg, MO or Grand Tower, IL and a bride & groom (married 2 weeks ago) came by in their pontoon boat with several friends. The groom was a worker on a tow. He said the tows go about 10 to 14 feet below the water's surface and their are approximately 12 crewmen on a tow. Interesting stuff.
Sunday July 24 we motored south past Cape Girardeau, MO. Weather was hot and humid as has been the case for the past 8 days. It was Sunday morning about 10:30 when we passed downtown Cape Girardeau but there were no boaters, fishermen, tourists, cars moving, NOTHING. It was like a ghost town.
We recorded two records from the trip both today... speed 9.6 south of Cape Girardeau and the depth 82 feet. WOW!
This video shows the flood wall in Cape Girardeau and the dry dock for barges along the shoreline. Then there were the barges full of wood chips. Tons of wood chips.
