Friday July 21 Mile marker 770 to moving through Memphis. The city was pretty architecturally like St Paul. I got pulled over a wing dam while waiting for two barges to move through. I tried to fight my way back to the main channel but the current was to strong. The second bridge was constrictive and a working tow boat was moving all over the place. There were several recreational boats but they gave me no problems. Met a nice fisherman and his son before and after Memphis, I had a nice chat with them.
The river trip is hard on my body and comfort. The islands are keeping me alive. I am pulled through by each sunset.
The mosquitos are pure torture.
