Day 4 May 8, Tuesday 3:30 p.m.

 Several Islands were loaded with pelicans, this was at Clinton, IA

We have seen several train track bridges. they rotate in the center and hook on to the
rail bridge on the left.

 This casino is in Iowa. They did not receive any of our money. There was one south of this about 10 miles.

 We did not have good lock timing today! Doug says we lack lock luck! We are waiting at lock 15 in Muscatine, IL, a barge is in it now. It will cost us an hour plus. Lock 13 was slow almost an hour as well

We have had a high southwest wind all day. In several wide spots the waves picked up, not as bad as Pepin luckily.
