It's In The Air, or NOT

It was clear and cool Sunday morning leaving Aurora, Indiana. As we passed by Rising Sun a plane buzzed over us. Loopers Dan and Angie on Seahorse wrote in their blog "you never know what you are going to see on the river" about amphibious planes in Rising Sun. Kelly has his private pilot's license and flying a seaplane was first on his bucket list! So for his birthday last year, Kelly received flying lessons on a seaplane at Rising Sun.

Several hours later, Kelly  pointed to the sky once again. This time the DirecTV blimp passed overhead. Apparently, just like Kelly, they fly IFR (I Follow River) as their GPS. We couldn't keep up with their speed.

We found a shady spot just down river from Madison, IN, so we lowered anchor and relaxed for the evening. Of course, we picked a spot with no cell service or wifi !!!

Monday:  we didn't get up early--8 am, ate cereal, pulled the anchor, and down river we went. We went right on past Louisville to anchor out again for the evening. There are no cities on this long stretch of the Ohio so we plan on anchoring out at least 2 more days to get to Evansville. IN. Maybe we will find one of those "you never know what you are going to see on the river".
