If the weather holds (I don't care about cold, just rain/snow at this time of year), and it looks like it will, I'll be taking another quick trip on the Mississippi. Going from Minneapolis to Red Wing, roughly 70 miles. At the pace of my boat and the lesser currents of autumn, I'm banking on 7 miles per hour for a ten hour trip. Spreading it over two days I'll find a nice slough to drop anchor for the night and have a nice little wavy night's sleep. Jill and the kids will meet me in Red Wing -- or any other landing before that point if something doesn't work out according to plan.
I had been saying I didn't do as much boat camping as I'd wanted to this year, and Jill was so supportive of a last little jaunt. She's awesome!
I'll be boating alone, but filing a travel plan as well as reporting in via social networks. And the GPS will be on the whole time, I'm sure. Really looking forward to it! Me and my boat..

honk when you go by watergate marina...or even stop in if you're not in too big of a hurry. If I'm around, I'll give you a tour of my work in progress.
