It's been a battle against the wind for the "Salty Walrus". Hopefully they can get some miles in and make it to Burlington, IA, today!

The "Salty Walrus" dropped though Lock & Dam No. 18 today, which means there's only 10 more Lock systems to go!

Ian said it was a great day on the river! With calmer winds and a very early start time, Ian and Melissa put in 27 miles (with a 2.5 mile detour.. one of the risks of trying to take a short cut). Hoping for good weather tomorrow, as I'm sure they'd really like to be done with Iowa!
