Making coffee in the morning was a pleasure. The butane stove that heated the coffee also heated the cabin of the boat. I huddled around the stove like it was a camp fire and warmed my hands.
Tossed off the dock lines at 7AM and headed for Golconda. It was cold. At least it was not raining. However the rain pants kept my legs warm. They now had two functions. First to keep me dry and second to keep me warn.
Arrived in Golconda at 4:00PM The harbor master took me into town. I had a burger and a beer a the Sweetwater Saloon. Walked back to the boat via the levy. Was much warmer tonight than last night. An it was not raining. This marina had the cleanest shower facility that I have seen in a marina. Top speed today was 10.1 knots. Average was 9.1. Got a tremendous boost from the current.
