The website is having technical difficulties right now. I'm not able to post any pictures to the site till they get it fixed. We're in Rockport, Il at at place called Two Rivers Marina. It's just South of Hannibel, Missouri and on the other side of the river. I need to check with Jeff and see what dredging a channel is worth, 'cause I definitely cut one into this place. They advertised 6-8 ft but I started churning mud right in the middle of the marked channel. Those 33's got polished and we dug our way through... The depthfinder was showing 2.3 ft. We're in for the evening, doing laundry, cleaning up, and charting our fuel and overnight stops on the way to Chicago. We're 60 miles from our turn up the Illinois river and 380 miles from Chicago, and have travelled 560 miles so far. If the low pressure system in the Lakes moves out, we should be in Lake Michigan by Wednesday of next week. More to come when they get things straight at the server...
