We received great news from the US Coast Guard today. They have opened the entire Illinois River for recreational boat traffic all the way to the Mississippi. So we will be departing Peoria early tomorrow morning. We have full fuel tank, water tank and all the provisions we need for a few days on the river. We picked out a few good anchor spots down river so we will probably be out of touch for a few days without internet & cell phone service.
We enjoyed a great dinner in the cockpit of Northern Light this evening of Susie's famous goulash (from Mackinaw Race days) and fresh baked muffins. Thanks Susie! Captain Brad did a great job of preparing that excellent dinner for his crew. Thanks Brad!
Our stay in Peoria was brief, but we enjoyed every minute of our time in this beautiful city and also EastPort Marina.
This was our view of the city skyline from the boat, priceless!
