Crossing the Mississippi River on a ferry. The day was to begin at 530AM, however, the weather didn't cooperate. I awoke at 500am to thunder, lightning, and buckets of rain. Pedaling in a steady rain isn't so bad, but this rain was different due to the windy conditions. The rain was falling sideways and there was lots of it. I was delayed over 2 hours and caught the 8am ferry from St. Francisville to New Roads.
