The French Sailboat

Nex day we dodged debris down to Kaskaskia Lock which thankfully is off the Miss.  We tied up for the night and met a couple from Montreal who have come down on their sailboat (they shipped their mast to FL) and managed to bend the rudder.  The were hauled to this lock where they had spent six days waiting for parts and we watched a diver go down and attach the rudder.  It didn't work properly and they had to wait until the next day when the diver returned with it fixed.  We were surprised to see them the next night at the same anchorage we were in.

Little Diversion Channel was off the river and quiet.  I couple of times small boats full of twenty somethings went past then we heard shooting and then they came back up river.  They were shooting the flying fish that King posted pictures of in a previous blog.
