End of Day 1

We struggled, weaving in and out of endless debris all day long. To save fuel, only running on one engine at a time.  Starboard engine overheated after 2 hours.  Went back to running on Port Engine till night stop.  Joe grilled burgers, while starboard engine raw water pump was removed.  Inlet of pump was packed full of zebra mussells.  They suck!  Stopped for the night at ths fine facility in Sugar Creek, MO:

  3. Hope you get into some cleaner water. Maybe you cleaned Lake Perry out of all the zebra mussels. Stay safe.
