Up the Ohio to the Cumberland

On the Ohio going upriver slowed us down a lot.  A bad night on the Ohio tied to a bollard on a huge cell with wind and current and from there 43 miles and two more locks (shudder!) to an absolutely lovely anchorage at the Cumberland Island Towhead. Our so-so picture shows the moon coming up through the trees Tuesday night.  Enchanting.  Plus early the next morning we left the Ohio River for the Cumberland River.  A narrow relatively shallow river, so peaceful as we motored up river.  We watched a lot of grey turtles sunning themselves on branches that had fallen in the water.  A branch might have five or more turtles on it.
If you look closely you can see the moon peeking out.
