The wind has been a killer the last few days with headwinds of 20 knots plus each day. It is so strong that the benefit of the current is completely negated. My technique is to hug the shoreline where the waters are calmer,crossing over to the other side if it looks more protected. My mileage has dropped from 45 miles a day to 35 miles but I only need to average 27 or so miles over the next week to get to St Louis in time to meet my daughter,son-in -law and grand daughter where I will probably take a break for a few days.
The next paddling day will see me pass the 1,000 mile mark and hit a new state (Missouri)
