Day 32 - Nauvoo, mm 376

After a long day of paddle straight head on into the wind, we were exhausted and stopped at a small marina/restaurant at Fort Madison. We had a good meal and went back to the beat of paddling into the wind. We got our ass handed to us again so we pulled over to a boat landing in Nauvoo hoping we can steal a camp spot. A quick chat with a local named Berry leads us to the lawn of Chuck and Karin. Their house is  overlooking a point over the river. She was so kind and generous to give us her car to go into town to resupply and check out the local history with involvement of a Mormon settlement here.  Just an observation, as we are moving south, our challenges now have changed from mosquito and rain to wind, mainly head wind. Also, the random act of kindness from strangers are the best part of this trip.
