We're scheduled to arrive in Davenport at 0500, and expected to depart at 1230 for Dubuque.
At 0630, it’s 66, just south of Davenport, IA. The fourth deck lounge, aft, is closed because someone left a door open, overnight, and the lounge is covered in mayflies. Housekeeping is working to remove the mess. By 0900, breakfast was over, we had gone through the Rock Island Lock and docked in Davenport, IA. I worked on the website and we sailed from Davenport during lunch, at 1230, bound for Dubuque. The American Experience (a sales pitch, really) was at 1415 and I selected a cruise among the New England Islands for next summer. The captain came on the shipboard PA system to announce that river conditions would not allow us to go all the way to St. Paul and that we would disembark, Sunday morning in Red Wing. Later, Dr. West told me that of all the cruises she has taken to St. Paul, the boat has never actually reached that point. Cocktails at 1730 preceded dinner. The ladies went down for the evening entertainment of Bobby Ray Bunch. At 0930, we went to bed, headed for Dubuque.
