Rocky Point to Owensboro
Port Departed: Rocky Point
Port Arrived: Owensboro
Miles traveled: 47 in 6.25 hours
Total miles traveled to date: 168
Today we traveled through our second lock called Cannelton. This time the drop was 26'. The lock operator had the doors open for my arrival. I motored in and caught the pin with ease. I tie a 30 foot line to the front cleat on the port side of the boat. I then take a shorter 6 foot dock line and cleat it to the aft port side clete. This lets me control the attitde of the boat. I can pull the bow line and the bow come in toward the wall. I can pull the stern line and the stern comes toward the wall.
Was hoping to find the Owensboro courtsey dock. However it had been moves to land for renovations of the seawall. I tied up at the Owensboro Marina in the rain.
No one ever showed up to collect the rent. No ameneties but I was able to stay for free.
