We're up before sunrise today. There was some rain last night and it is raining this morning. The temperature is probably in the low to mid 40's. We pulled anchor and were on our way before 8 am. Around 10 am we actually had snow in the air! Good thing we're going south!! There was rain off and on but the weather did improve throughout the day.

We pulled up to the city dock at Sabula, Iowa, before 6:00 pm. The boat was longer than the dock! Anyway, a couple of guys came running down to help us from the "Driftwood Lounge" up the street and we drew quite a crowd by the time we tied off. After securing the boat, we had a couple of cocktails and a nice dinner on the boat of chicken breast, sweet potatoes and asparagus before heading up to the bar for a beer. The Holts challenged the Goransons to a game of pool. Maureen learned that Gale was a pretty talented pool player - we might have had a chance if she'd been able to sink anything! It was back to the boat and to bed at 10:30 pm.
