Wabasha

We left Treasure Island at 8:22 .  We got right in the Lock and Damn, which was great.  We had smooth sailing again, a little chop on Pepin but not much.  Only saw 2 barges.   We arrived at Wabasha at 1:30  They have done a lot of improvement since the last time we were here.  But apparently next year the only transient spot will be at the gas dock so call before you come.  Wabasha was having an October fest.  Here are some pictures from it

Of course we walked to Slippery’s for a beer and some onion rings.  Just wouldn’t be a trip to Wabasha without that :).

Tomorrow we take a BIG trip to LaCrosse, 64 miles and 4 locks.  We’ll be getting up early.  Wish us luck!
