August 19, 2013, Monday

Good morning, Daddy. Hazy sky at 6am. Can't tell if there are clouds up there. No water in my leaky pontoon. The leak my have stopped. Thinking about not sealing pontoons at all. Water has fallen 6" in the night. Boater coming in last evening said the Kanawha is turning muddy. The Ohio is already brown with crème colored stripes running its length. My first out fishermen are already backing down the ramp to launch.
Getting cabin cruiser floor measurements today. Buying wood on Wednesday. Scoot has promised to launch the boat for me. Garbage pickup guys for the town have just left. Time to measure.
Walked to the shelter, forgot my towel so I'll walk there again later. No registration yet. Sheriff came by and showed me another cleat hitch and mentioned a book about the Blackfork called "Nail Knot."
Scott and his wife, Margaret came with the renewed registration for the StarCraft, with stickers and registration numbers. They launched the boat and gave me their address and a ride to the library. Whoopee! Overwhelmed.
I will be finished bailing and cleaning out the molds and slime by morning. Hoping the SS check deposits tomorrow. If not I will still have $10 on Wednesday. If it does I'll buy Mike's motor and gas tank.
Walked to the shelter with my towel, great shower and received an invitation to dinner. I was given some stamps to write them letters as I journey.
Good night
