Friar’s Point, MS
We stopped to pick up some water and the city council here has computers to use free of charge. That is great. John is finishing the article for the week and I have to fill up the water still.
This is day three back on the river after three days avoiding Hurricane Dennis. For every day off of the river you have a bad day of paddling. Today will be our last bad day of paddling as our bodies re-adjust to the river. It is amazing how quickly you can fall out of a groove.
We hope to get close to Rosedale, MS tonight and Vicksburg on Sunday. We will have to paddle in a very efficient manner to reach those goals, but I think we can do it.
John is really nervous about the increasing barge traffic. It will only get busier from here on out and that is a concern, because we have less and less time to negotiate to the inner sides of the turns. I think we will be OK. But who knows with Hurricanes and more water from Hurricane Dennis rushing down to meet us. I hope that our journey continues to be safe and successful.
