A few shots of India Jayne taken from other boats:





On the Ohio





Uh Oh!   
Power failure at Little Diversion on The Mississippi

Rafted up at Little Diversion, 5 boats


Hamp (from Gracie) towing a tree away from our boats

Here we are entering the mouth of the Ohio from the Mississippi.  Notice the chocolate water of the Big Muddy in the foreground and the greener water of the Ohio  R. coming in (where we are) in the background.




Once on the Ohio we are going up stream against 1.5-2 knots of current.  
It's a big change from the 5 kt boost you get going down the wild, swirling, up-welling and raucous  Mississippi.
Up the Ohio

Underway on the Ohio towards the Cumberland R.  
But wait! Who's driving?

Really, shouldn't someone be looking ahead??

Our old Looper buddies from M/V Paraiso, Chris and Janis Soper, drove 5 hours from clear up north to visit us here at Kentucky Dam Marina.  Wow!  Thanks, Guys!
