Looking for Sunshine

Enjoyed our stay at Heritage Harbor Marina in Ottawa, IL.  It was probably one of the top 5 marinas along the way.

Today we cruised downriver to Peoria, IL and docked at National Marina.  It is probably one of the top 5 worst marinas along the way.  The staff is friendly and helpful but the marina looks like a dystopia scene after a nuclear war.

At least we are tied up to a sound dock.  If the river rises overnight we will be able to float out instead of plow out through the silt.

That's the news and here's the views:

We are here

  1. Saw the weather forecast for flash flooding in the river systems from the remains of Gordon. Hope you find someplace safe to tie up to wait it out.

  2. I saw the weather forecast for flash flooding in the river systems from TS Gordon. Got me thinking of you heading that way. Hope you find someplace safe to tie up and wait it out.
