Realizing that we would have a very long upriver run today to Prospect, KY, we were ready to leave at 6 a.m. (CST) when the first signs of light were on the horizon. With our running lights on we left the marina.

| Out early on the Ohio |
We saw wisps of fog for a couple hours but it cleared up very nicely for the remainder of the 120 miles.

| High water Debris |
 |
| Finally ... Mountains |
 |
| McAlpine Lock |
McAlpine Lock is unusual in that it has two large locks instead of large and small chambers. We called them about 1 mile out and told to keep coming that they had a tow leaving one of the chambers and we could go right in.
 |
| New Lock Doors |
As we left the lock we could see new doors to be installed sitting on the Indiana shore.
 |
| Homeless Camp |
A canal leads from from the lock to downtown Louisville and we were amazed to see this camp as we passed by.
 |
| Leaving the Lock Canal |
At the end of the canal is a low bridge that we could clear but it is always a little unnerving to have a train on it as we go under.
 |
| Louisville |
 |
| Jeffersonville, IN |
The clock time is correct. We had already been on the river 11 hours but due to the move back into EST this indicates over 12 hours travel. We still had an hour and a half to get to our marina.
 |
| Race |
We had to slide around this activity just outside Louisville.
 |
| Heather's on the River |
We actually finally got to Heather's at 7:35 p.m. very pooped from the day. We ordered take out from the restaurant and watched a little TV in the salon with our dinner then hit the sack.
Our day tomorrow is a little easier at 59 miles to Warsaw, KY.
