August 7, 2017

One of the things I wanted to do on this adventure was sail or boat
by the Arch in St. Louis.  I did that today.  We didn't get to spend any time there as the current was going at a pretty good clip.  It was pretty awesome anyway.  I got a picture that not many tourist

get to take,  looking at the arch from the water.  Our marina is different.  It does have electric, water, and fuel.  That is about all that you can say.  It is right on the Mississippi and the barges go by 24 hours a day.  St Louis had a river full of barges, moving, parked, loading and off loading.  Jim did a great job of weaving in and out of the traffic and fighting the current.  We stopped at our accommodations before noon,  we did start at 5:30AM,  and traveled 58 miles.  Tomorrow we get to anchor out, travel 100
