7/5/2016 Tuesday - Day 10

Today was primarily a traveling day since we are aiming to be back to home port by Thursday evening.  We woke and departed from the SW side of Pittsburgh (Midway Boat Club) early.  We traveled 81 miles and through 4 locks today without incident.   I kicked the RPM's and speed  up a bit from what we had been traveling at (from about 11mph to about 16mph) in order to not make for a long day.   We made it to our planned dock at Wheeling Yacht Club by about 3pm and after getting settled and getting the AC pumping we sat and chatted for a while with a couple of the members. 

While cruising downriver this afternoon I caroused craigslist and found a used Diamondback Parkway bicycle with a VERY comfy looking seat for sale in Wheeling.  I contacted the seller who agreed to bring it down to the boat club when he got off work.   It was a score....a MUCH better ride than one of the bikes we had been using.   Anyone want a cheapy bike with an incredibly uncomfortable seat?   I've got one you can have :-)

On the reccomendation of our hosts at the boat club we walked up the hill a short distance to Uncle Pete's Restaraunt which proved to be very good.   Renee and I split a tasty rack of ribs....yum!

So, here we are at the end of another wonderful day of travel sitting on the bow of the boat in our zero gravity chairs and enjoying our Java and sunset.  God is good! 

Cruising back by Holiday Yacht Club where we stayed on our way up

A cook old house.  Also a stearnwheeler with its paddle wheel up on the bank.....getting serviced maybe??

Back through a very industrial area....enough cranes?

I wonder if clouds ever look down at us and say, "look....that one looks like an idiot"?

Yet another nice sunset this evening

The view downriver (toward home) from the marina we're at.  This is the I 70 bridge

My new (well used) super comfy seat bike :-)  my butt will be so haphaphappy! 

I think we could get used to this
