Day 67: Sn 11/18- Sunshine


  Sunday was a nice, full day with more sunshine.  The last several days we had been able to have our solar charger out all day and by the evening it was finally fully charged.  As we left the last of Memphis behind, we passed several industrial complexes and had quite a bit of barge traffic to deal with, but the paddling was smooth.  We were excited to pass the 700 mark as well as enter into Mississippi, the namesake of our journey!
  We stopped on the right bank at 698 on a tall sand dune across from a casino.  After a brief daydream of paddling across for a visit to their buffet, we settled for camping right at the rivers edge and watching the sun go down over the water, very pretty.  We plugged the phone into the charger and after the entire evening, it had actually fully charged the phone, so yay!  As long as there was ample sunshine, we might actually be able to use the phone regularly again.
