    Scott here with today’s float plan. Paris Landing to Cuba Landing. Today will be a little longer than yesterday, but still a good easy day. My plan is if we are stopping at a marina to go around 50 miles if possible. This way we can enjoy the area. If we are anchoring, we will…

    October 16, 2023 Boston Bar anchorage on the Mississippi River to Paducah, KY Today was strange. Our initial plan with our buddy boats was to leave around 8:00 am and Dove was going to leave earlier as they tend to go slower than the rest of us. We heard from Dove around 7 am that…
