Talked to Brian briefly tonight. He was exhausted. Today he got to go through the lock and dam at Canton, Missouri. He said it was fun going through them. It rained on him a lot today. He decided he needed to get as far as possible so he continued in the rain (with his rain jacket on) until it was raining so hard he couldn't see. He said there is also still not a lot of current, so he is having to paddle extra hard to get anywhere.

He plans on staying a few days in Quincy. He has a interview planned with a tug boat captain, and some other sites, etc to visit. I think is is suppose to continue to rain, so it is probably a good place to stop for a while!!

Is he wearing his pink poncho and his goggles???
Good Lord! He is going to have some boss arm muscles when he gets home. Perhaps this is life's way of compensating you a little bit for your husband being gone so long. :)
