Travel Day Oct. 16, 2023 (Boston Bar anchorage to Paducah, KY) (Travel day #13)


Scott here…..

Sorry about the last float plan going out after we were at our anchorage! Lessons learned. This one I am sending out close to when we leave so I can attach the anchor alarm snapshot.

Today we will get off the Mississippi River and head north on the Ohio River. The red buoys will move from our port side to our starboard side once we turn up the Ohio.

Route name in Aqua Maps: TD: 10/16/23 (Boston Bar anchorage to Paducah)

Looking forward to walking around Paducah a little bit. I have only been to the interstate rest area there.

This is how we did on anchor last night/this morning. Good holding and I slept well!

Anchor tracking overnight on 10/15/23. Good holding!
