Big news!!  We now have covered 1000miles!! --What I will not tell you is how much gas we have used!!!  And something else we have not done before--at least not in a boat--we anchored in an abandoned gravel pit!  We are seeing the odd Asian Carp leaping out of the water, but mostly we just catch the splash and then see the waves.  So far one hasn't jumped into the boat--good thing or I would probably go out the other side!  The pictures are of this mornings very quiet water with some slight fog--the others are of the white pelicans.  Huge flocks of them that look like a big ice flow.
