First day out

So our first day out was a little chillier than we had imagined, but by the end of the day I think every one was welcoming the cool breeze. All of Chad's team were friendly and hilarious! Jo was definitely giving Sarah the eye. Clearing the Barge was our first job of the day. We worked as a very efficient team and cleared the whole barge within an hour and a half.
We took a break for lunch and got a chance to meet some of the Geneseo team. A lot of them very very nice and funny, some were little shy but warmed up as the day went on. The lunch provided was fantastic we had ham or turkey and cheese sandwiches, chips and cookies.
After lunch we loaded back on to the boats and were off to the Falls of the Ohio. We went through the Ohio locke system. I knew what to expect because of my years living on the Panama canal, but Zach was a little disappointed that it wasn't a faster dropping water level. Chads team passed the time in the locke by creating a few cheers to demonstrate which boat was the best. After our third time through a Row, Row, Row your boat rounds the locke doors opened and we were off to the falls.
At the falls we finally started our first day of cleaning. Some very interesting things were found during our day. Sarah Gall and I found a TV from the '60s full of water and man was it heavy. A car was found along with a big yellow tube that was easily a hundred yards long. Three hours and around 400 hundred bottles, dip tins and sneakers later we were all beat and ready to head home for a hot shower.
We are all sore but happy with our days work and are really looking forward to tomorrow!
