Day 33: M 10/15- Dubuque

**hey everybody, sorry it's been so long. We're doing fine and the monster storm out east hasn't affected us other than cooling things down a bit. Gonna try and bust out as much as possible on this battery charge. Thanks for following and your patience!

So, this was a while back so it's tough to remember the details. It was a warmer day than Sunday and we were down to tshirts and tanks for a while, at least while the sun was out. Coming up to lock and dam 11, mi 583, we passed through another larger pool. The wind wasn't too bad though, so we weren't really slowed down.
The dam went smoothly and we didn't have to wait for any barges, then we went through Dubuque, IA immediately afterward. The river was getting larger at this point. Generally it narrows down a bit and quickens up for a while after a lock, but this area was still rather large, 1/2 mile or so across. Like most towns and cities along the river, there was a lot of industrial plants and barge traffic. For some reason it also smelled strongly of chlorine, so don't know what's up with that. At least it didn't smell like dog food (yeah, I'm talking about you Newport).
We had a few more miles to go and made camp on an island at mile 574. We ended up going 31 miles for the day, which is always nice!
