Day 3: Great people and bacon cheeseburgers

Woke up to coffee compliments of Ms Russel. B-S'ed with George. His daddy landed a plane in a baseball field in 19......54ish.  He also knows of 17 geese in Chester, WV where he lives, good guy.  Jumped off a dock and swam around. Then battled through rough current and winds for 10 miles.  Then went through a lock where the lock dude was a jag.  I was handed an ic light from a dude named Scott Everly on a house boat, who is also related to the Everly Brothers Band. I know this to be true because after I ate at the Crooked Dock, a captain of a boat drove me to a marina where they let me stay.  Bill was the comidor and mimi was his wife.  Awsome people, they opened their fridge with beer to me and even offerd to let me sleep on their house boat. In 2 hours of fun conversation and beer with them I learned that they too know Scott Everly and can confirm he is indeed related to the Everly Brothers Band.  His nickname is 'Rum boogie'. Not sure why.

Anyway I'm in between Steubenville and Wheeling somewhere. Apparently there's a beer festival going on in Wheeling this weekend.  Folks tell me good things about it.
