Heading North on the Ohio River |

We got an early start because we would be traveling 95 miles to Evansville. The river was beautiful and the sunrise was great to watch.

There was a lot of things to see along the river. A small hotel with a small statue of liberty. There were neat rock formations. We also went pass Cave In Rock. From around 1790, Cave-in-Rock was base camp for a group of river pirates who would ambush flatboats carrying cargo down the Ohio River. Pirates, bandits, fugitives, and murderers used the cave as a sort of hideout and hangout where they could scheme, gamble, drink, whore, and even kill.

As we reached Evansville, we saw a large sand bar with many boats on it. We learned that the sand bar was created with dredging material from the river. The sand bar is made and then in a few years it will go away with the river water and they will dredge again and made another sand bar.

Inland Marina is a small marina and we stayed on the fuel dock right beside the Tiki Bar!

The next morning we headed out early again. We only had to travel 63 miles but wanted to take our time. We passed the USS LST-325, which is a decommissioned tank landing ship of the United States Navy, now docked in Evansville, Indiana, USA. Like many of her class, she was not named and is properly referred to by her hull designation. The ship was listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places in 2009

We passed many small towns and passed Owensboro, KY. They have a very nice river front.

Early afternoon, we came across some black things in the water as we got closer we found that they were birds. It was hard to tell from a distance. There were so many of them.
