Day 53 - Dennis Landing, mm 610

Another of those long paddling day. We paddle from 7:30 until noon, stop for lunch break and a long nap, then paddle until 7:30pm to our camp spot.  The river current is moving very slow, about 5 mph. At this section of the river, there are mainly barge traffics, no recreational boaters, no fishing boats, etc. All we see all day are barges after barges and they create nasty turbulent in the water. There are times we had to pull over to the side to wait for these damn barges to pass to avoid turbulent water that might flip our canoes over. Other than those ugly annoying barges, we are blessed with non-extreme heat and not-so-crazy wind today. The mosquito at the camp site are annoying but other than that, everything is well.
