Hoppie's

10/6/14
After being at Hoppie's for 5 days, there was lots of discussion about leaving. The river was a huge mess, but it was time to go! We were one in a group of seven boats to leave at 7:15 am. The first 50 miles was a lot of logs but the next 60 wasn't as bad. Our destination today is Little Diversion Channel at Cape Giraudeau. There was a big thunderstorm that hit just as we were anchoring but we finally got set thanks to our friends who tied our stern to a tree on the bank (we do not have a stern anchor yet).

There is 48 more miles of the Mississippi then we hit the Ohio.
