Trip statistics to date:

Since Leaving Mackinaw City on August 18^th we have traveled 2,623 statute miles. Put 355 hours on the main engine and 39 hours on the generator.  Changed the Racor fuel filter twice and changed the engine and transmission oil once.  We have used 932 gallons of diesel fuel and only have had to add 2 quarts of oil to the engine.

We have spent 128 nights at marinas, 1 night at a free wall, 4 nights at free docks and 14 nights at anchor.

The least we have paid for a slip was $26.25 and the most was $98.00.

We have traversed 33 locks, the shortest drop was 4' in Chicago and largest was 84' on The Tenn-Tom.

We have gone out for dinner 21 times, lunch 6 times and surprisingly only had ice cream three times.  By design we did not bring a scale onboard so we are not sure how we will do at our physicals in December.
We have only been at Starbucks four times (two were in Chicago) and John is afraid that he may loose his gold Starbucks card.
