We finally left the big city of Chicago and had a beautiful trip down the river. Made it all the way to Joliet where Bill joined the crew this afternoon. It is great to have him aboard. The river is still at flood stage so the current is very swift and has lots of debris floating as a hazard. It was exciting going through our first locks. Very little barge or other boat traffic so our trip was quick. We left Crowley Yacht Yard at 7am and arrived at Joliet about 1pm. Many thanks to the staff & crew at Crowleys. Appreciate all your help and advice. A great day on the river!
