Day 7: Another Slow day

OTTAWA, IL USA

Another discouraging day.  48.5 miles.  After an hour long bridge hold up and a three hour lock hold up we are just past our planned first stop on the river, after two nights.  Hopefully tomorrow is better otherwise we are never going to make it to Florida.  There is a bit of a town here so we may go check it out for dinner.  I'm really tired, up at 0600 and running all day in a hurry up and wait game took some energy out of me.  Not much else to say other than we hope we can run some river tomorrow.
