Our Hoppies departure was not as early as planned (7:00 AM) today because of morning fog. At Hoppies it's sort of a boating free-for-all until each boat wanting to dock is finally tied up to the improvised long dock. The bath facilities leave much to be desired, but Fern Hopkins is a local legend on the river and she gave us all assembled a great update on conditions of the river and changes that we should be aware of. What a character!
With no locks and favorable currents we made great time today and anchored out at 1:30 PM at Rockwood Island, near Chester, IL. Since we had some extra time before dinner, we got the dingy down and went exploring. Rockwood Island has a great sand beach and we took lots of photos. Steaks and salad for dinner tonight thanks to Galley Guy Jay..... my turn tomorrow to cook and clean-up.
The photo is of Northern Light with Jay and me. Background is Rockwood Island.
