Running short of water, so focus was on filling up. Fog above Robert C Byrd lock. Saw a snake swimming across the river near Ashland. An upbound tow called Greenup just before we did. When we called they told us it would be a while. They called again and directed us to hang out near the arrival cells. We considered hanging off them but don't have a good way to do that. They hailed again and told us the upbound boat was delayed so we could lock down in the big chamber, which we did. Finally saw a bald eagle again. Called Shawnee Boat Club and they answered! Mediocre dinner at the Portsmouth brewery; beer was fine. Filled up water, so we're good to go.
