Sold!

Captain's Log - Day 35

I officially no longer own a boat!

This morning, Frank showed up with the cash and we completed the deal. Plan C is moving on.

The good news is that Frank is a great guy and knows a lot about boats. He's a captain of a stern wheel riverboat. He told us about his travels on the rivers and how he came to be a captain. Really interesting guy. Plan C is in good hands - Frank's going to giver her the tlc she deserves.

Even though we like Frank, it's bittersweet to sell her. We're spending our last night on her tonight. *Sigh* We'll miss you, Plan C. Let's have a brief moment of silence in her honor ...

After we sold her, we fed the ducks and bluegills that have been congregating near our stern. These things are like piranha! It was a feeding frenzy above and below the surface of the water! Simon was able to get one of the ducks to eat out of his hand!

Dinner was at the Lakeside Tavern again. We've actually found some good food there. The Tavern Chicken Tenders are excellent, and the Southwest Egg Rolls and Tavern Spicy Shrimp are good appetizers. The burgers are not very good - steer clear. The salads are decent. If you go with the Tavern Chicken Tenders, the spinach casserole is an excellent side, and the shiitake mushroom rice pilaf is pretty good too.

Taylor and Rachel came down to see us! They're going to give us a ride to Indiana where we'll (hopefully) relax for a few days before heading to Canada.

Tomorrow, I'll post all the grand totals for the trip - miles, locks, anchors, etc.
