MOUNDSVILLE, WV TO GEORGETOWN ISLAND, WV

Day 11
Miles Traveled Today:  64
Total Miles Traveled: 301


  Another long travel day.  We didn't go quite as many miles as day before, but we had more current so slower going.  Part of the reason the current was so fast was that both dams we locked through had a lot of their gates wide open to let high water downstream.
  Here is a picture from Pike Island Lock and Dam.  

Gates open  with water welling up underneath them

  We passed by Wheeling, WV which has a nice riverfront park and East Liverpool, OH with it's old High School Alumni Clock Tower.

  Our day ended at a nice anchorage behind Georgetown Island, WV with another great sunset.
