Not an early start again, so we were preparing everything for eight o'clock take off. Drying the windows from the rain that started at about 4:30 a.m. Engine room check. What the? I did exactly what I told myself not to do yesterday when putting a little oil in the port engine. "Don't forget to put the cap back on when you're done like Ray did that time." Oil everywhere. Especially all over the washing machine. Glad we only traveled for an hour like that yesterday. Glad I took a shower this morning only to get up to my elbows in motor oil.
A little later start than planned with all of that mess, but only by about ten minutes. Just as we were approaching the Divide Cut we encountered a tow but with only one barge. A few miles later we easily got around a small dredge. After that, nothing exciting except birds; eagles and barn swallows being the most entertaining.
By 1:30 p.m. we were docked at the transient dock at Aqua Yacht Harbor after pumping out first. I wasn't about to have a repeat of Demopolis, so I got it done right away. Chores have made the afternoon fly by. We all plan on jumping in the courtesy car to Freddy T's for dinner soon. Unfortunately it will soon be time to say goodbye to "The Bar-B", assuming they will be heading down stream as usual form here.
