Here we go again...


Kerm here,  YEA, we left Afton, MN and are now in Alma, WI.  Good day. 71  miles and 2 locks.  Engine ran fine, systems all OK and the new Tablet with Navionics software is operating beyond expectations.  Systems working fine.  Garmin depth stuff does not work but what the heck.   Small oil leak from injection pump where it connects to housing , need to loosen packing on shaft gland, small leak from secondary fuel filters but with all that we did,  whatever.  Deal with it.  

THANK YOU TO JOE HAUSER SR. AND JOE HAUSER JR.  for all the help with the engine and generator. Man,  I have more confidence in our engine than ever.  I never want what happened on the Cumberland River a couple of years ago (dead engine, narrow river, barge traffic) to happen to the Belle again.
