Trip So Far

End of day 19:

  • 11 travel days
  • 8 locks
  • 645 miles travelled:
    • 1/2 on lake Michigan
    • 1/2 on Illinois River
  • 490 Gallons of Fuel
  • Key learnings:
    • Boat is running well
    • Most but not all lockmasters are helpful
    • At 10 mph, fuel mileage is 3 times better than at 15
    • Running at night on the river is stressful
    • Headsets do make a difference, wear them everytime!
    • It seems difficult to keep track of what day it is
