Friday December 29th

We checked out of the super 8 this morning all systems up. We are topping off the tanks and should untie from these wonderful people in about an hour. It's a beautiful day, sun shining about 50 or so. A lot more barge traffic today more then we have seen since we left Pittsburgh. We hope to make 40-50 miles today then get into a rhythm. I'll update later tonight.

It sounds like it's been quite an adventure so far. I wish I was out there. Even with the engine problems. This is real. Not fantasy. I bet my father was scared when he saw the generator was shutting down with all that oily smoke. I'm glad you guys found some one to help you guys out on your quest. It sounds like the mayor was nice too with letting you stay at that dock. That is a very interesting story of The Mothman, but it's terrible to hear of the bridge collapse in the story of the Mothman. I pray to you guys with all my heart for warmth and a successful voyage. And I wish my father, Patrick a happy birthday on the 30th. I wish I was out there.

After reading about the Mothman, I reserved the movie from the library. My friend said she saw it and it's a good movie. Wishing you guys a wonderful, safe and uneventful (as far as the mechanical stuff goes) voyage.
